Air alert at Incirlik base, Turkey: Sirens have sounded, rockets in the sky

The Incirlik air base in Adana, Turkey, was the scene of an air alert on Friday, when sirens sounded around 03:25, according to the Turkish state agency Anadolu. This base, crucial for NATO and the United States, hosts over a thousand military personnel and dozens of B61 nuclear bombs.

Following the alarms, images were reported on social media showing what appears to be a ballistic missile in the sky. The incident raised concerns, considering that, since the beginning of the conflict in the Middle East, two missiles launched from Iran have been destroyed in Turkish airspace. Authorities have not provided further details about the incident, but tensions in the region remain high.
