Πυρκαγιά στον Ύψωνα - Εκκενώθηκαν κατοικίες λόγω εκρήξεων

Πυρκαγιά εκδηλώθηκε λίγο μετά τις 2 τα ξημερώματα στην περιοχή του Ύψωνα.

Η φωτιά ξέσπασε σε αποθήκες εργοστασίου χαρτικών και γρήγορα επεκτάθηκε, γεγονός που οδήγησε στην προληπτική εκκένωση κατοικιών, ενώ στο σημείο ακούστηκαν και εκρήξεις.

Αυτή την ώρα η πυρκαγιά βρίσκεται σε ύφεση, με την περιοχή και τους παρακείμενους δρόμους να παραμένουν κλειστοί, ενώ ισχυρές δυνάμεις της Πυροσβεστικής συνεχίζουν να επιχειρούν.

Νωρίτερα η Αστυνομία είχε γνωστοποιήσει ότι ο δρόμος από τον αυτοκινητόδρομο Λεμεσού – Πάφου, στο ύψος του Ύψωνα, είχε διακοπεί λόγω της φωτιάς.
