All of the six Patriot surface-to-air missile systems deployed by NATO in Turkey’s Gaziantep, Kahramanmaras and Adana provinces have been put on combat duty, the Anatolia News Agency reports.

Ankara claims it needs the Patriot systems to ward off potential aggression by Syria.

Damascus sees this as a hostile move.
