Turkey has sent missile batteries, tanks and troops to the border with Syria as a "security corridor", almost a week after the Syrian downing of a Turkish military jet, media reports said Thursday.
There was no official confirmation of the military moves, which came after Turkey branded its former ally a "clear and imminent threat" following Friday's attack over the Mediterranean.
About 30 military vehicles accompanied by a truck towing missile batteries left a base in the southeastern province of Hatay for the border, about 50 kilometres (30 miles) away, the Milliyet newspaper reported.
