A 15-year-old boy is showing signs of improvement at Nicosia General Hospital after a terrifying fall from a four-storey apartment block in Paphos on Tuesday. Authorities from the Police Headquarters' Communications Branch revealed that the teenager suffered fractures to his jaw, pelvis, and both arms but is gradually recovering.

The incident unfolded on Tuesday afternoon (21/05) around 13:45, when Paphos police responded to distressing reports of a child plummeting from a building. Emergency services rushed to the scene and swiftly transported the injured teenager to the hospital for urgent medical attention.
