The US-led coalition against Daesh has resumed airstrikes from a Turkish air base that were suspended after a failed military coup d’etat, the Pentagon said on Sunday.
“After close coordination with our Turkish allies, they have reopened their airspace to military aircraft,” Pentagon spokesman Peter Cook said in a statement.
“As a result, counter-Daesh coalition air operations at all air bases in Turkey have resumed,” he added.
“US facilities at Incirlik are still operating on internal power sources, but we hope to restore commercial power soon. Base operations have not been affected.”
The Turkish authorities on Saturday imposed a security lockdown at the Incirlik air base in the southern province of Adana used by US and other coalition forces in the fight against terrorists in Syria and Iraq.
