The '''Battle of Soloi''' was fought on [[December 15]], [[1955]] in the [[EOKA]] campaign against the British in [[Cyprus]].

[[Markos Drakos]] led his "Ouranos" (Sky) team, including [[Charalambos Mouskos]], Andreas Zakos, Charilaos Michail and four others in an ambush of a British convoy near Mersinaki, close to ancient Soloi.

In the ensuing firefight, one British soldier was killed as was Charalambos Mouskos. Andreas Zakos and Charilaos Michail were injured and captured while Markos Drakos himself escaped despite a head injury.
