Den 26. december skete en større træfning i [[Kyrenia]]-passet; hovedvejen fra nordkysten til Nicosia gik via passet; en styrke af græsk-kyprioter blev slået tilbage af tyrkisk-cyprioter.<ref name=1963og1964s1qKyrenia>Patrick, Richard A. ''Political Geography and the Cyprus Conflict: 1963-1971''. [https://web.archive.org/web/20060221231230/http://www.cyprus-conflict.net/narrative-main-%203.htm Arkiverede udgave, side 1]. (Department of Geography, University of Waterloo, 1976), pp. 45-88 . "The fourth major clash outside Nicosia occurred in the Kyrenia Pass on 26 December. The main road from the north coast to Nicosia crossed through this pass. It was obviously strategically important, especially in view of a threatened Turkish invasion along the North coast. A force of Greek-Cypriots, directed by mainland Greek army officers from a headquarters in Kyrenia town, attempted to control the pass, but was beaten back by Turk-Cypriots from [[Aghira]]. One Turk-Cypriot was killed."</ref>
