NATO Article 5 Activated? Turkey Shoots Down Iranian Ballistic Missile Over Qamishli | US | VERTEX

Описание: For the first time since the Middle East war erupted on February 28th, 2026, a NATO member state came under direct fire. Turkey's Ministry of National Defence confirmed that NATO air and missile defence assets intercepted an Iranian ballistic missile travelling through Iraqi and Syrian airspace toward Turkish territory. Debris from the interceptor fell in Hatay province, with no casualties reported. Turkey issued a stern warning, reserving its right to respond to any hostile act. The escalation follows Iranian strikes on multiple Gulf states, UK assets in Cyprus, and US bases — dramatically widening the conflict beyond its original US-Israel-Iran axis.
