ANKARA, March 9 (Reuters) – NATO air defences in the eastern Mediterranean have shot down a second ballistic missile that was fired from Iran and entered Turkey’s airspace, the Turkish Defence Ministry said on Monday, warning that it will take necessary steps without hesitation.
This marks the second Iranian ballistic missile that has targeted NATO member Turkey in the last week.
In a statement, the ministry said some ammunition parts had fallen in the southeastern province of Gaziantep and that there were no casualties in the incident. It called on all parties to adhere to Ankara’s warnings.
