Which facebook page? - I found

https://www.facebook.com/Incirlik-Air-Base-Turkey-135207298748/?fref=ts

No information other than this - 2 hours old -

Pentagon Press Secretary Peter Cook:
“We continue our efforts to fully account for all Department of Defense personnel in Turkey. All indications at this time are that everyone is safe and secure. We will continue to take the necessary steps to ensure the safety and security of our service members, our civilians, their families and our facilities. The Turkish government has closed its airspace to military aircraft, and as a result air operations at Incirlik Air Base have been halted at this time. U.S. officials are working with the Turks to resume air operations there as soon as possible. In the meantime, U.S. Central Command is adjusting flight operations in the counter-ISIL campaign to minimize any effects on the campaign. U.S. facilities at Incirlik are operating on internal power sources and a loss of commercial power to the base has not affected base operations.”

The airbase Facebook page denied explosions. It's a new modern world people. Apparently they are flying F16s now. Those planes must be on a mission to scare pigeons off the runways. Lol.

Weren't US military and diplomatic dependants ordered evacuated in late March? Didn't Israel order its citizens out of Turkey a week later?
