NATO intercepts second Iranian missile in Turkish airspace: Ankara

Turkey's defense ministry on Monday said a ballistic missile fired from Iran was intercepted in Turkish airspace by NATO defense systems, in the second such incident in five days.

"A ballistic munition launched from Iran and entering Turkish airspace was neutralized by NATO air and missile defense assets in the eastern Mediterranean," it said in a statement.

Some fragments from the weaponry fell in open territory in the southern Gaziantep area, causing no injuries, the ministry added.
