🐟Dead fish found in Athalassa Park lake, investigation launched
Nicosia — Authorities probe discovery of about 80 dead fish, mostly carp of 2–3 kg, in Athalassa Park lake.

Early inspections show no evidence of disease or pollution. Preliminary view: sudden water influx likely stirred sediment, reduced oxygen and stressed fish.
