An explosion occurred shortly before 2 am outside a building in the Pernera area in Protaras.
At first glance, the explosion seems to be due to an explosive device, which caused extensive damage to the building, although no injuries were reported as the centre was not operational.
The scene has been cordoned off by the Police, and it is expected that explosive experts from the Headquarters will visit the site.
They will conduct investigations and collect evidence to identify the type of explosive device placed at the building.
The Police are investigating a case of attempted property destruction using explosives. Investigators are expected to retrieve the closed-circuit television footage from the area to possibly identify the perpetrators who placed the explosive device.
The Famagusta CID is handling the investigation.
