On a happier note, Baloo, the adorable little dog who went missing on Saturday in the Troodos region, has been found safe.
A bus driver transporting tourists to Troodos, despite warnings about the weather, encountered Baloo in Troodos Square.
The dog blocked the bus, prompting the driver to try and pick him up.
Though he was unsuccessful, a nearby rescue team managed to catch Baloo. Baloo had initially gone missing on the Artemis trail in Agros, with sightings reported in the Gerasa area, heading towards Palodia in the Limassol district, and near the Limassol lake in Agios Pavlos.
