NATO air defence systems intercepted a third Iranian ballistic missile over Türkiye early on Friday morning. The incident occurred at approximately 03:30 local time over the southern province of Adana.
Footage circulating on social media showed burning objects falling through the night sky. Defence analysts assessed that the objects were fragments of the destroyed missile burning up during atmospheric re-entry, and authorities confirmed that no explosions occurred on the ground.
This marks the third time an Iranian ballistic missile has violated Turkish airspace during the current conflict. NATO air defence networks successfully neutralised the two previous projectiles before they could pose a threat to populated areas or military sites.
The southern province of Adana is a strategically significant location as it is home to İncirlik Air Base. The facility serves as a major hub for U.S. and allied military operations across the broader Middle East.
These interceptions come amid a sharp escalation in regional hostilities following military operations launched by the U.S. and Israel on 28 February. Those initial strikes resulted in the deaths of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and several senior officials.
In response to the targeted killings, Iranian forces have initiated a campaign of retaliatory strikes. Tehran is currently directing missile and drone attacks against Israel, as well as U.S. and allied military installations across the region.
