One of the membrane panels of the temporary shelters being installed over Mnajdra Temples was torn early this morning, probably as a result of strong winds.

Heritage Malta said in a statement that although the cause of the incident was still being examined, it could have been torn because it had not been fully secured and tensioned while winds reached Force 6.

A safety net separates the membrane panels from the temples themselves and no damage to the monument was caused. No one was hurt in the incident.
