I see the headline's now been changed to "RAF base in Cyprus hit by drone strike"

The Telegraph is, of course, strongly anti-EU, so the original headline might well have been a form of shit-stirring - "look how weak the EU are being by not retaliating!", or something along those lines.

That's not how the EU views it,

This is correct.

> the Sovereign Base Areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia (SBA), is a British Overseas Territory that consists of two separate areas on the island of Cyprus.
