Jordan's army announced Monday that it intercepted and shot down two Iranian unmanned aerial vehicles that penetrated the kingdom's airspace. The statement follows earlier reports of drone interceptions over Jordan today.
The Jordanian military announced at 12:37 p.m. Jerusalem time that its air defenses shot down two Iranian drones that had entered the kingdom's airspace. The statement did not specify the interception location or whether the drones were armed.
The announcement follows a series of drone interceptions reported earlier today. At 12:31 p.m., The Zioneer reported that Jordan's military said it intercepted two drones with no casualties. A minute later, the IDF confirmed that the drones did not enter Israeli territory and that Jordan had intercepted them near the border.
The incident is part of a broader pattern of Iranian drone activity across the region, with multiple interceptions by Jordanian and allied forces in recent weeks, as previously reported by The Zioneer.
