The fire that broke out in the morning in the dead zone between Deryneia-Famagusta was brought under control. Both the e / k and the t / k side are informed, according to information from the United Nations.
The fire broke out under the chapel of Agia Marina, to the right of the outpost of the Turkish occupation forces, in the area of Kappari.
Sigmalive contacted the Mayor of Deryneia, Andros Karagiannis, who, citing information from the United Nations, said that the fire was under control and that there was no cause for concern.
Earlier, the spokesman of the Fire Service, Andreas Kettis, stated that the danger continues to exist due to the existence inside the dead zone of mines.
According to the first information, the fire started from the occupied areas and proceeded to the dead zone, while the causes have not been made known.
However, according to the United Nations, the fire was noticed at 10.15 am. from a patrol in the protection zone in the area of Deryneia.
