Two individuals faced amputation after a firecracker accident.
The individuals, a 35-year-old man from Geri, and 17-year-old man from Acropolis in Nicosia were using firecrackers to celebrate Holy Saturday, when a freak accident led to severe injury.
A spokesperson for the Cyprus Police said that paramedics took both men to Nicosia General Hospital. They were thereafter transferred to a private clinic, where a finger was amputated for each person.
Notably, the men had similar accidents and injuries, despite being in two very separate places.
