Missile from Syria-Israel clash lands in Cyprus

Missile believed to be made in Russia crashes into mountain overnight, setting hills ablaze

A missile has landed on the side of a mountain in Cyprus in what officials say could be a spillover of an Israeli strike on Syria and a counter response.

The impact occurred at about 1am (10pm GMT) in the area of TaAkent, also known as Vouno, 12 miles (20km) north-east of Nicosia, with the explosion setting hills ablaze and being heard for miles around. There were no casualties.
