A Defense Department spokesman said the incident occurred when a recruit took skewers to camp, and was recruited by the military. At that time, about 40 new recruits rushed to the scene to defend him, resulting in an incident with the conscripts.
The intervention of the officers was immediate and the incident ended without any injuries.
For his part, the Chief of Staff of the Ministry of Defense, Costas Fytiris, told KYPE that he went to KEN Larnaca as soon as he saw the post on social media, and found that everyone was in bed and there was complete normalcy.
"It simply came to our notice then. Let's not forget that the soldiers are three days old and are in the process of adjusting. Certainly research will be done and responsibilities will be assigned if they exist, if they are found, but for us it is an episode that is considered over. It's not as serious as it sounds. It is in the process of adapting the soldiers to the National Guard, "he added.
