Sirens were heard at Turkey’s Incirlik Air Base near Adana late Friday night, prompting a red alert at the NATO facility where U.S. troops are stationed. Residents of Adana, located about 10 kilometers from the base, reported being awakened around 3:25 a.m. by the alarm, which lasted approximately five minutes. Fire and security sirens were also heard across the city.

The incident occurred days after NATO air defense forces intercepted two ballistic missiles launched from Iran toward Turkey. According to Turkey’s Ministry of National Defense, one missile was destroyed by NATO’s air and missile defense units deployed in the eastern Mediterranean, and debris fell in an empty field in Gaziantep province without causing casualties.

This was the second missile interception within five days. NATO confirmed it had downed another missile from Iran earlier in the week and warned Turkey against taking retaliatory measures toward Tehran. The U.S. announced the temporary closure of its consulate in Adana and urged American citizens to leave southeastern Turkey.
