NATO forces in Turkey, including Polish and Spanish troops, come under attack by alleged Iranian missiles

On Friday, air raid sirens sounded at Turkey’s Incirlik air base, which hosts Polish, American and Spanish NATO forces.

Turkey’s state-run Anadolu news agency, as cited by Do Rzeczy, reported that sirens went off early Friday at the base located in the southeastern province of Adana.

Posts appeared on social media suggesting Iranian missiles were heading towards the base. Some of the published videos, as noted by AFP, show a burning object falling from the sky near the air base.

Turkish media reports that the sirens sounded around 3:25 a.m. local time, which is 1:25 a.m. Polish time. The alarm, it says, lasted five minutes.

Since the start of the war against Iran, initiated by the United States and Israel, two foreign missiles have been neutralized in Turkish airspace. The most recent incident occurred on March 9 in Gaziantep Province, near the border with Syria. The missile was shot down by NATO missile defense systems located in the eastern Mediterranean.

The Turkish Defense Ministry said at the time that the missile debris did not cause any damage and there were no casualties. It also assured that Turkey “values ​​peaceful relations and stability in the region and will not hesitate to act if the security of its airspace or territory is threatened.”

“We reiterate that all necessary steps will be taken decisively and without hesitation against any threat directed against our national territory or airspace. We remind everyone that heeding Turkish warnings on this matter is in everyone’s interest,” the statement said.
