Greek Cypriots say that on 8th/9th August 1964 sixty-four Turkish F100 jets indiscriminately bombed villages and other targets. The Turkish Bombs cachet was applied to overseas mail from 31st August 1964 until the end of the year. There appears to have been aggression on both sides. On 10th September 1964 the SecretaryGeneral reported, "UNFICYP carried out a detailed survey of all damage to properties throughout the island during the disturbances,.......it shows that in 109 villages, most of them Turkish-Cypriot or mixed villages, 527 houses have been destroyed while 2.000 others have suffered damage from looting. In Ktima 38 houses and shops have been destroyed totally and 122 partially. In the Orphomita suburb of Nicosia, 50 houses have been totally destroyed while a further 240 have been partially destroyed there and in adjacent suburbs." (UN document S/5950) -5-
