Turkey's Ministry of Defense announced on Tuesday the deployment of a US Patriot air defense system to a southeastern province "in light of recent developments in our region" as part of NATO's "enhanced air and missile" defense measures.
"In addition to the national measures we have implemented, NATO has enhanced air and missile defence measures. As part of this framework, a Patriot System is currently in Malatya and is being prepared for operational readiness to support the protection of our airspace," the ministry wrote in a post on X.
Yesterday, the ministry reported that NATO air and missile defense forces in the Eastern Mediterranean intercepted a second Iranian ballistic missile that had entered Turkish airspace. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan warned Iran against any further "provocative steps" following the incident.
