Cyprus Civil Defence schedules Tuesday tsunami-alert test

Civil Defence says CY-Alert will send exercise messages during Tuesday’s tsunami drill. Only phones with the test channel enabled in the covered coastal area are intended to receive them. The notice says these exercise messages require no action; it does not describe an actual tsunami emergency.

What the sources establish

Civil Defence is the claimant. Philenews’ full Greek report and the full publicly indexed official notice were read; direct official retrieval returned 403. Both relay one announcement, not independently observed delivery. The November 10 test window is 11:00–15:00 local time, equivalent to 09:00–13:00 UTC. The no-action wording concerns exercise messages only.

Evidence last checked: 9 Nov 2026 12:52 UTC.
