Turkiye’s defence ministry said Nato was deploying a new Patriot missile battery at Incirlik air base, just days after a third ballistic missile from Iran was shot down, AFP reports.

“Another Patriot system… is being deployed… in addition to the existing Spanish Patriot system stationed there,” a ministry official told reporters at the Turkish air base, which is just outside the southern city of Adana.
