A fire that could have been set deliberately destroyed the ground floor entrance to an apartment block in Larnaca, the fire service said on Thursday.
No one was injured in the incident.
The fire at the five-storey building on Grivas Dhigenis was noticed just before 12pm by an off-duty firefighter who said he saw thick smoke coming from the ground floor.
Crews who arrived at the scene saw that the flames had engulfed the wooden structure that housed the post boxes, which were full of advertising flyers.
Firefighters using three engines managed to put out the blaze but not before it destroyed the entrance.
The firefighters helped residents leave the building safely.
A fire service officer said from a preliminary examination of the scene he could not rule out foul play since the post boxes were full of flyers but someone must have set them alight.
Experts were investigating the incident.
