A Jordanian military source said the kingdom's air defenses identified six missiles launched from Iran toward the country. Four were intercepted, and two fell in uninhabited areas with no reported casualties.
The Jordanian military confirmed Wednesday at 12:35 Jerusalem that its air defenses intercepted four of six Iranian missiles, with two landing in uninhabited areas, consistent with earlier reports. The confirmation follows the interception of four Iranian drones over Jordan at 12:08 Jerusalem, as The Zioneer reported.
The Zioneer's coverage of the incident began at 11:10 Jerusalem, with reports that Israel did not participate in interceptions. At the same time, the IDF confirmed it had not launched Iron Dome interceptors and that no debris fell in Israel. The Jordanian military then stated that four missiles were intercepted and two hit uninhabited areas. A subsequent official state news agency report claimed six missiles were intercepted, but the military later clarified that only four were intercepted, with two falling in open areas. By 12:08, the military announced the interception of four drones.
Jordan has repeatedly intercepted Iranian projectiles, as The Zioneer reported on June 11 when 20 missiles were intercepted, and on July 18 when 10 missiles were intercepted. No casualties or damage have been reported in this incident. The specific targets of the missiles were not stated.
