Three missiles fired from Iran landed inside Jordan early Sunday morning. The military confirmed the weapons caused minor property damage but did not injure or kill anyone.
The Jordan Armed Forces sent the Royal Engineering Corps to clean up the missile debris and secure the areas. Meanwhile, government authorities are closely monitoring the situation.
Military officials stated clearly that Jordan will not allow its airspace or land to be used by outside countries as a battleground, warning that any threat to the kingdom's safety will be met with a firm response. All military units have been placed on the highest level of alert to protect the country.
The missile incident happened during a massive military escalation between the United States and Iran. Earlier that morning, the U.S. launched heavy airstrikes on Iranian military targets. Iran quickly retaliated by firing missiles and drones at U.S. military bases located across the Gulf region.
This sudden outbreak of fighting has effectively broken a ceasefire agreement that the two countries signed back in June.
Air raid sirens and missile alerts went off in several neighbouring countries, including Bahrain, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates. Iranian state media claimed their forces successfully targeted U.S. military bases in Kuwait, Bahrain, and Qatar, as well as American naval support facilities at a port in Oman.
