NATO forces on Monday intercepted a second Iranian missile headed into Turkey’s airspace, marking another escalation of regional turmoil sparked by the joint U.S.-Israeli war against Tehran. 

The missile was shot down by NATO  assets in the Eastern Mediterranean, according to Turkey’s defense ministry. There were no casualties in the incident, which marks the second time in five days Iran has targeted a NATO member.
