The exact figure (520 air + 23 naval = 543) is confirmed by a single news-agency report (Cyprus News Agency / Kiprinform); the original letter from the Republic of Cyprus to the UN is not publicly accessible in the search results.
The available source does not specify which exact three-month reference period the 520/23 figure covers, nor its precise publication date.
Cyprus reports such violations to the UN regularly and with varying totals (e.g. 659 air/naval violations for June–July 2026 in a letter dated 29 September 2026; 989 air and 45 naval violations reported in 2025), so the specific period of the claimed 543 figure cannot be independently pinned down.
Only one independent secondary source explicitly carries the 520/23 figure; no primary source (the Republic of Cyprus's UN letter itself) was located.
