41-year-old arrested over bomb explosion at Deryneia residence

On April 2, 2026, at approximately 1:30 a.m., an explosion caused by a high-power device damaged the garage door of a 49-year-old businessman's home in Deryneia. No injuries were reported, though the businessman and his family were inside the house at the time. Police arrested a 41-year-old suspect associated with a diagnostic center in the Famagusta district. Reports suggest the motive may be linked to professional rivalry regarding the expansion of diagnostic center operations. The Famagusta District Court has ordered the suspect to remain in custody for four days. Police and explosive ordnance disposal units secured the scene to collect evidence for forensic analysis. The investigation by the Famagusta Criminal Investigation Department is ongoing, with authorities noting the victim has no prior history with law enforcement or organized crime.
