Another object resembling a component from a missile system has washed ashore on a beach in Kalo Chorio, near Agios Nikolaos in eastern Crete. Authorities have confirmed the object poses no danger to the public. This is not the first such discovery in the area; similar debris has been found on Cretan beaches in recent months, likely originating from military activity in the broader Eastern Mediterranean region. Visitors to beaches around Agios Nikolaos should be aware that unusual objects occasionally wash up along the coastline. If you encounter any suspicious or unidentified object on the beach, do not touch it and report it immediately to local authorities or the coastguard. Normal beach access in the area has not been restricted.
