The head of Cyprus' navy, Andreas Ioannides, was among 12 people killed in blasts at a munitions dump which damaged the island's biggest power station, police has said.
The commander of the Evangelos Florakis base, Lambros Lambrou, and six firefighters also died in Monday's explosions.
Several huge explosions hit the Evangelos Florakis naval base early on Monday morning, when a brush fire approached dozens of storage containers holding gunpowder that had been confiscated in 2009 from a ship which had been heading from Iran to Syria.
