Ankara, March 13 (QNA) - Turkiye's Ministry of National Defense said NATO air defense systems deployed in the eastern Mediterranean intercepted a missile fired from Iran.
In a statement, the ministry said Turkiye is in contact with Iranian authorities to seek clarification regarding the incident, noting that this is the third time Ankara has announced that NATO defenses intercepted a missile launched from Iran toward Turkish territory.
The ministry stressed that Turkiye would take all necessary measures, firmly and without hesitation, against any threat targeting its territory or airspace.
