The Turkish authorities launched an investigation into the coup-related Incirlik Air Base in the country's southeastern province of Adana, state-run Anadolu Agency reported Monday.

Accompanied by police teams, two deputy chief prosecutors and five chief public prosecutors from Adana started to search the air base, where a tanker plane had taken off to refuel at least one F-16 jet piloted by the coup soldiers.

The base, which houses nuclear weapons, is currently used by the U.S.-led NATO forces to strike IS targets.
