Turkey's Somalia Spaceport Raises Missile Concern

Turkey's Somalia spaceport is raising Israeli security concern because reports say the site can double as a long-range missile test range. Construction is described as being near Warsheikh, though earlier accounts placed the project on Somalia's Indian Ocean coast near Kismayo or as a 900-square-kilometer coastal site. Analysts link the project to Turkish defense and missile testing, and 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.
