Investing.com – According to a statement from the Ministry of Defense, NATO intercepted a ballistic missile launched from Iran toward Turkey on Monday.

This interception was another response following a similar incident on March 4, when NATO announced it had strengthened missile defense in the region.

The missile debris fell in the southern Turkish province of Gaziantep, about 150 kilometers from Incirlik Air Base, which is home to hundreds of U.S. military personnel and is widely believed to store U.S. nuclear weapons. The debris landed approximately 200 kilometers from the advanced NATO radar system in Kurejık, which supports terminal high-altitude area defense and anti-ballistic missile systems.

Ankara did not permit its bases or airspace to be used for strikes against Iran. After the initial attack attempt targeting Turkey, Ankara also warned Tehran not to take actions that could further escalate the conflict.
