Amman: Jordan’s air defence systems intercepted and shot down three of four Iranian missiles targeting the kingdom on Sunday, a senior military official from the Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army (JAF) announced.

According to the Jordan News Agency (Petra), the fourth missile landed in a remote and uninhabited area in southern Jordan.

The military official confirmed that the incident caused no casualties or property damage.

The JAF said Royal Engineering Corps teams were immediately dispatched to the site where the missile landed to secure the area and safely handle the debris.

The armed forces added that they remain on high alert, continuously monitoring Jordanian airspace and maintaining readiness to respond to any threats to the kingdom’s security and public safety.
