NICOSIA, Cyprus: Cyprus’ telecoms authority said on Tuesday unknown arsonists have torched a second mobile telephone antenna despite government efforts to quell "groundless” fears that it’s moving to install a 5G antenna network.

A small, but vociferous, online campaign against 5G alleges in social media posts that emissions from the network’s antennas pose a serious health risk and may be linked to the spread of Covid-19 by weakening the human immune system.
