Cyprus's government spokesman says the country's defense minister and the head of the National Guard have resigned over a deadly explosion at a naval base that killed 12 people and injured more than 60. Monday's explosion at the National Guard's Evangelos Florakis Naval Base on the Mediterranean island's southern coast occurred when a brush fire set off containers of gunpowder that had been confiscated from a ship two years
ago. Government spokesman Stefanos Stefanou said Defense Minister Costas Papacostas resigned, as did the National Guard Chief, Petros Tsalikides. He said investigators have ruled out sabotage. The blast -- described as a disaster of "biblical proportions" -- has also knocked out the island's largest electricity station, causing widespread power cuts.

  • @domikolli and who do you think you are you dirty monkey? Go get a fucking life and learn geography, history and the basic fucking information needed for one person to be classified as normal! dick head.

  • In regards to "domikolli" I don't know from what inbred fucked up family you are from, but obviously your IQ is lower than your mothers tits to make such an ill informed comment, maybe you should stop sucking your dads cock and spend your time learning a little about one of the most gorgeous islands there is and also some respect for your fellow man. Dumbass

  • @domikolli Fuck You... Expect that you siad that our goverment is bullshit...

  • Not a word of this in North American news during July, the hell?

  • LISTEN: This happened because cyprus isn't capable of ruling itself. Cypriots are stoopid. cyprus is a shithole. the government needs to be skullfucked. Cyprus has NO future, they will destroy themselves by inter-fighting even though they cannot see that they all stem from the same monkey seed and behave as such. Fuck Cyprus, you cunt of a country.
