AI Summary
5 min readNATO intercepted another Iranian missile that entered Turkish airspace today, the third such interception in two weeks. Sirens sounded early in the morning at Turkey's Incirlik airbase near Adana, and social media videos captured what appeared to be an explosion overhead. Although a wing of the U.S. Air Force is stationed there, Turkish officials insist it is not an American base and that Ankara will not allow Turkish airspace to be used to attack Iran. NATO spokesperson Alison Hart said the alliance "remains vigilant and stands firm in its defense of all allies."
Four of six U.S. crew members aboard a military refueling plane died when the aircraft went down in western Iraq. A second plane landed safely. The Pentagon said the refueling plane was not brought down by hostile fire. Separately, French President Emmanuel Macron said a soldier died for France during an attack in the Erbil region of Iraq. A pro-Iranian group warned that French interests in Iraq and the region would be targeted after the arrival of a French aircraft carrier. Macron sent the carrier to the eastern Mediterranean to protect France's Gulf allies and European interests after Cyprus was targeted by Iran.
