US EditionTurkey says second Iranian ballistic missile shot down by NATO defences in airspace
NATO forces shot down a second Iranian ballistic missile over Turkey, with debris landing in Gaziantep; no casualties reported, Turkey warns of decisive response to threats.
- On March 9, NATO air and missile defenses intercepted a ballistic missile launched from Iran after it entered Turkey's airspace, with debris falling in Gaziantep and no casualties reported.
- After coordinated Israel–US strikes on Feb. 28, Tehran has conducted retaliatory attacks targeting Israel, Azerbaijan and several Gulf states across the region.
- This is the second such launch in recent days, with NATO air and missile defense assets deployed in the Eastern Mediterranean neutralizing the munition, and Ankara previously summoning Iran's ambassador to protest.

- Tehran's wider retaliatory campaign has strained regional stability by targeting Israel, Azerbaijan, and several Gulf states, while Turkey's ties with Kyiv and Moscow position it as a key intermediary.
