NATO air defense systems intercepted a ballistic missile launched from Iran as it entered Turkish airspace over Hatay province on Wednesday, Turkiye’s Defense Ministry said.
The ministry added that the projectile was tracked after crossing Iraqi and Syrian airspace before heading toward southern Turkiye, where it was “successfully neutralized” by a NATO air and missile defense unit.
