The Jordanian army said it intercepted two unmanned aerial vehicles, according to Israeli journalist Asaf Rosenzweig. The announcement comes after the IDF earlier today reported intercepting two drones near the Jordan border.
The Jordanian army announced Monday afternoon that its forces intercepted two drones, hours after the Israel Defense Forces reported a similar interception near the border. The IDF said at 11:02 Jerusalem that its air defense forces downed two unmanned aerial vehicles using a fighter jet and electronic warfare, before the drones crossed into Israeli airspace, and that no alerts were activated as they posed no threat. The Jordanian military did not specify whether the drones it intercepted were part of the same launch or a separate incident. The source of the launches remains under investigation, and no group has claimed responsibility for the launches.
