The United Kingdom (UK) announced on Wednesday that it would send 700 soldiers to its sovereign bases in Cyprus to support the possible evacuation of British citizens from Lebanon.

Now, a report on CNN has stated that the United States has also deployed troops to Cyprus to facilitate the evacuation of its citizens from Lebanon.

According to a report on CNN, the United States has deployed troops to Cyprus in preparation for evacuating its citizens from Lebanon.

The article, titled “US Troops Deployed to Cyprus as Fears of a Wider War in the Middle East Grow,” details that “four US officials told CNN that dozens of American soldiers have been deployed to Cyprus during a period of rapidly escalating tensions between Israel and Hezbollah.”

These soldiers are reportedly preparing for all potential situations, including a possible evacuation of US citizens from Lebanon in the event of a full-scale war in the region.

The report also mentioned that earlier this week, Pentagon spokesperson Patrick Ryder stated that the US military, “acting with great caution,” would send “a small number of US military personnel to the region.”

However, he declined to provide details on the number of troops, their specific destination, or their unit.

The United Kingdom also announced on Wednesday that it would send 700 soldiers to its sovereign bases in Cyprus to support the potential evacuation of British citizens from Lebanon.
