    In a startling incident on Thursday evening, a university bus became engulfed in flames in the northern part of Nicosia, sparking immediate action from emergency services and raising questions about vehicle safety. The bus, which was carrying no passengers at the time, caught fire while stationary at a set of traffic lights in the Mandres suburb.
