Parts of the downed missile fell in open terrain in the Turkish province of Gaziantep, according to Turkey's state-run Anatolia news agency. No one was reportedly injured.
Gaziantep Province is located near the eastern corner of the Mediterranean Sea, north of Syria and far from Turkey's border with Iran.
The impact site is about 150 kilometers from the US military base at Incirlik in Adana province, where hundreds of Americans are stationed and the US is believed to have placed nuclear weapons, Bloomberg reports. A key NATO facility is also located in the area.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan warns, saying that Iran continues to carry out "extremely wrong and provocative actions that risk jeopardizing friendship with Turkey."
"One should not engage in such things," Erdogan said in a statement, according to AFP.
Earlier on Monday, the United States ordered non-essential American personnel to leave the consulate near the city of Adana. American citizens were also urged to leave southeastern Turkey.
Also last week, NATO forces shot down an Iranian missile in the Mediterranean Sea, before it reached Turkish airspace.
Iran has attacked many countries in the region in response to Israeli and US attacks on the country. Countries such as Azerbaijan have also accused the country of carrying out drone attacks, which Iran has denied.
