In 2024, the Committee on Missing Persons in Cyprus (CMP) identified the remains of 11 individuals linked to the inter-communal conflicts of 1963-1964 and 1974.

Among them, two were Greek Cypriots, while four were unlisted fallen combatants. The CMP carried out excavations at 102 sites, uncovering remains in five new locations, including Aloa, Trachoni, and Karavas.

So far, 1,051 of the 2,002 officially missing individuals have been identified, alongside 216 unlisted cases.

The search continues, with seven excavation teams working across the island and 300 cases still under investigation.
