TL;DR Summary

Shocking video footage shows British peacekeepers being brutally attacked by Turkish Cypriots who had bulldozed UN vehicles during unauthorized construction work in ethnically-divided Cyprus. The attack occurred when peacekeepers tried to prevent the construction of a road through a UN-managed buffer zone. The violence left three British soldiers injured and several UN vehicles damaged. The incident has escalated tensions on the island and has been condemned by the UN, EU, and various governments. The Cypriot government views the construction as a serious violation of the status quo and fears it may hinder efforts to restart negotiations for resolving the island's division.
