Turkey says NATO defenses downed fourth inbound Iranian missile

A ballistic missile launched from ‌Iran entered Turkish airspace before being shot down by NATO air and missile defenses deployed in the eastern Mediterranean, Turkey's defense ministry said on Monday.

The incident marked the fourth such incident since the start of the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran, following three earlier interceptions by NATO systems earlier this month that prompted Ankara to ‌protest and warn Tehran.

Tehran has denied in the previous three incidents that it authorised such launches and has asked Ankara to form a joint investigation into the matter.

The ministry said all necessary measures were being taken "decisively and without hesitation" against any threat directed at Turkey's territory and airspace.
