Ankara — Reuters. Turkey's Ministry of Defense announced on Monday that a ballistic missile from Iran entered Turkish airspace before being shot down by NATO air defense and missile systems deployed in the eastern Mediterranean. This is the fourth such incident since the outbreak of the war with Iran, following three previous interception operations carried out by NATO systems earlier this month, which prompted Ankara to protest and warn Tehran. The Ministry stated that all necessary measures are being taken 'decisively and without hesitation' against any threat to Turkish territory and airspace.
