Turkey says second Iranian ballistic missile shot down by NATO defenses
NATO air defenses in the eastern Mediterranean shot down a second ballistic missile fired from Iran that entered Turkish airspace, Turkey’s Defense Ministry said Monday.
The ministry said debris from the intercepted missile fell in the southeastern province of Gaziantep and that no casualties were reported.
It marked the second time in the past week that an Iranian ballistic missile has entered the airspace of NATO member Turkey.
Ankara warned it would take necessary steps “without hesitation” and called on all parties to heed its warnings.
