JPost: Turkey's Somalia Spaceport Raises Missile Concern

JPost published at 03:07 IDT and updated at 03:44 that Turkey's Somalia spaceport is raising Israeli security concern because reports say the site can double as a long-range missile test range. The article cites Le Monde placing construction near Warsheikh, while Middle East Forum and older Turkish reporting place the project on Somalia's Indian Ocean coast near Kismayo or as a 900-square-kilometer coastal site. Al-Monitor and IISS say the project is linked to Turkish defense and missile testing, and Stratfor cites Bloomberg that Ankara may test Yildirimhan and Tayfun-4 systems from Somalia. Israel should monitor Erdogan's anti-Israel posture and protect Somaliland and Red Sea interests without exaggerating unconfirmed ranges.
