However, Turkish civilians began leaving the Limnitis enclave for the Turkish town of Lefka, Turkish aircraft were seen further west over Kokkina and the situation became increasingly uneasy as news spread of Turkey's air, sea and land operations in the Kyrenia - Nicosia sector.
Since Danish posts on the hills around the Kokkina and Limnitis enclaves were isolated and difficult to reach, General Prem Chand authorized Severinsen to withdraw any that he considered to be in danger.
Severinsen pressed the National Guard to halt its attacks on the Turks besieged at Kokkina and Limnitis, but Charalambous would undertake only to respect the neutrality of UN posts in these areas, which he urged should be withdrawn into the Danes' camp at Limnitis.

He noted that on the one hand the Turkish Cypriots state that they want both communities to be benefited, but on the other hand they use the argument that only Greek Cypriots would benefit from the opening of the Limnitis crossing point.
The Turkish Cypriot leader has expressed the opinion that the opening of the Limnitis crossing point will have no benefits for the Turkish Cypriot side and there is no need for its opening because it will only ensure advantages to the Greek Cypriots.

Furthermore, in the east, there was another small Turkish Cypriot bridgehead around Limnitis, which prevented government forces from being rushed by the direct route and caused them to follow round-about routes.
