Andreas Antoniades, known as 'Keravnos', has died in England

Andreas Antoniades, widely known by the pseudonym 'Keravnos' (Thunder), has passed away in England. His death was announced on August 23, 2026, by the historical research page 'Istorikes Mnimes EOKA 1955-1959'.

Antoniades was a controversial figure associated with the Cypriot liberation struggle against British colonial rule between 1955 and 1959. Although he was initially a member of the EOKA resistance organization, he later defected and became a key informant for British security forces and the intelligence sector under Governor Sir John Harding. His intelligence activities resulted in the capture of EOKA fighters, the discovery of hidden caches, and the seizure of weapons. Due to his active role in assisting British authorities, he was considered a target by EOKA execution squads and survived multiple assassination attempts during the conflict.

Following the conclusion of the armed struggle and the signing of the Zurich-London Agreements, his legacy remained deeply tied to his role as a collaborator, marking a dark chapter in the history of the liberation movement within the context of the Greek-Cypriot struggle.
