Police on Tuesday are launching investigations into a fierce fire at a pigsty in Meniko area in Nicosia during which 96 sows and some 1,000 piglets died on Monday evening.
The pigsty was completely destroyed by the fire which broke out around 8 in the evening, police also said.
It was not possible to carry out investigations right away because of the very high temperatures which developed in the pigsty area.
