Turkey says NATO defences intercepted missile in its airspace Turkey says NATO defences intercepted missile in its airspace Turkey says NATO air and missile defence systems intercepted a ballistic missile that entered its airspace from Iran, according to a statement from the Turkish defence ministry on Monday. Officials said defence elements stationed in the eastern Mediterranean neutralised the missile before it could cause damage. Fragments of the projectile fell in empty fields in the southeastern province of Gaziantep, but authorities reported no casualties or injuries. Ankara said it remained committed to maintaining stable relations with neighbouring countries while warning it would act decisively against any threat. “Turkey attaches great importance to good neighborly relations and regional stability. However, we once again emphasize that all necessary steps will be taken resolutely and without hesitation against any threat directed at our territory and airspace. We remind everyone that heeding Turkey's warnings in this regard is in everyone's interest.” https://www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/live-blog-update/turkey-says-nato-defences-intercepted-missile-its-airspace
