ANKARA, March 13 (Xinhua) -- Sirens were heard Friday morning at south Türkiye's Incirlik Air Base, semi-official Anadolu Agency reported.
Local media also reported explosions in the area, though the cause remains unclear. There have been no official statements regarding the incident.
The reports follow a recent series of missile interceptions. Earlier, NATO's air and missile defense systems successfully intercepted two ballistic missiles fired from Iran towards Türkiye.
In separate incidents, two Iranian missiles were detected heading toward Turkish airspace and were neutralized by NATO defense assets deployed in the Eastern Mediterranean.
On March 4, a ballistic projectile launched from Iran was tracked as it passed through Iraqi and Syrian airspace before veering towards Türkiye. Debris was later examined in the Dortyol district of southern Hatay province.
On March 9, a missile launched from Iran was intercepted over Türkiye's southeastern Gaziantep province. Some debris from the missile fell onto vacant land in Gaziantep, but the Ministry of Defense confirmed there were no casualties. ■
