A ballistic missile launched from Iran was shot down by NATO's air defense systems after it entered Turkish airspace.

The Turkish Ministry of Defense announced that a ballistic missile launched from Iran was shot down by NATO's air defense systems after it entered Turkish airspace. This is the fourth similar incident since the US and Israel began a war against Iran, a month ago.

The ministry's statement does not provide details about the region where the missile was intercepted or about its possible trajectory. The interception of the missile underscores the effectiveness of NATO systems deployed in the eastern Mediterranean and raises questions about regional security in the context of heightened tensions between Iran and its allies.
