Terrified holidaymakers watch Iranian missiles soar over holiday hotspot
Holidaymakers from the UK and Belgium have posted alarming footage to TikTok after seeing missiles lighting up the sky. Holidaymakers in Cyprus witnessed an eerie sight on Sunday night as Iranian missiles streaked across the sky in a chilling reminder of the escalating conflict in the Middle East. British TikTok user Sapphire shared a clip of the moment she saw a series of Iranian missiles lighting up the sky. "Crazy we can see this," she wrote alongside her clip, reports the Mirror. Sitting by her hotel's swimming pool in the Mediterranean Island, she added to her "POV" [point of view]: "You're having a nice drink in Cyprus and then you see Iranian missiles heading towards Israel." In another clip shared on TikTok, Belgian national Filipe de Almeida shared his own shocking experience. He wrote: ""The way I instantly knew what this was, my heart felt so heavy watching this." Echoing Sapphire's video, he continued: ""Point of view - you are in Cyprus for holidays taking pictures of the moon and see missiles from your hotel balcony." As Filipe panned his camera over the pool, he captured various fiery red dots in the distance, heading towards Israel. Reacting to Sapphire's post, one TikTok user confessed: "I'd never considered that people actually see missiles going from one country to another that is terrifying." "It was so terrifying," Sapphire responded. "Thinking of everyone that has lost loved ones." A second person added: "This would have broken my heart to see." To which Sapphire empathised: "It did break mine, hate to see all this happening." Meanwhile, another asked advice from Sapphire about an upcoming trip: "Hi, I should come on vacation to Cyprus in a few months. How is it there? Is there a concern about the nearby war?" She attempted to reassure them, however, exclaiming: "No concern at all! Flights are normal and we have been having such a lovely week here. Just sometimes sadly you can see it in the distance." Felipe also attempted to calm viewers' nerves about travelling to the island, he said: "If you are worried about the flight, it's also safe. Flights that cross on that region are cancelled. So the maximum is you'll have your flight cancelled if you need to cross any of those countries," he said. He went on to say: "I'll be coming back next month, it's safe here. But if you are coming from a place where you need to cross the countries that are at war, then most likely your flight will be cancelled, if not it's all good. Flights between those countries are the only ones affected, and they issued warnings which stopped the flights. Flight from and to Cyprus are fine." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Travel warning to holidaymakers after woman dies from rabies following dog bite
A British holidaymaker died after being infected with the fatal disease in Europe. A warning has been issued to holidaymakers after a British woman died after contracting rabies following contact with a stray dog whilst abroad. The female was holidaying in Morocco when they became infected after being bitten or scratched. The Yorkshire woman was later diagnosed with the fatal disease. The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) are now warning tourists to be cautious when around stray animals in countries where rabies is present, particularly in parts of Asia and Africa. This includes avoiding contact with animals such as dogs and cats, and seeking advice on whether vaccination is needed before travel. Dr Katherine Russell, Head of Emerging Infections and Zoonoses at UKHSA, said: "If you are bitten, scratched or licked by an animal in a country where rabies is found, then you should wash the wound or site of exposure with plenty of soap and water and seek medical advice without delay in order to get post-exposure treatment to prevent rabies.' Dr Russell stressed there was no risk to the wider public as Rabies cannot be transmitted between humans. As a precaution close contacts and healthcare workers involved in this case are being offered vaccination as a precaution. Dr Russell added: 'I would like to extend my condolences to this individual's family at this time. Rabies is a virus transmitted through the saliva of animals, commonly spreading to humans via bites, scratches, or licks on open wounds from infected animals, primarily dogs. According to Travel Health Pro: "It can also be a risk if an animal spits and saliva gets into the eyes, mouth or nose. The virus attacks the central nervous system, causing progressive damage to the brain and spinal cord. Once symptoms are present, rabies is almost always fatal." It does not circulate in domestic or wild animals in the UK, although some species of bats can carry a rabies-like virus. The last recorded case of someone acquiring rabies from an animal other than a bat within the UK was in 1902. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

There have been six reported cases of human rabies associated with animal exposure abroad in the UK between 2000 and 2024. Anyone who is bitten, scratched, or exposed to an animal's saliva in a rabies-affected country should immediately wash the area with soap and water and seek medical help—regardless of whether they have been vaccinated. Post-exposure treatment, when given quickly, is highly effective at preventing the disease. A recent update on the Foreign Office-funded Travel Health Pro website read: "In early June 2025, the Valencian Health Department reported a fatal case of rabies in a Spanish resident bitten by a dog during a trip to Ethiopia in July 2024."
