Sirens were reported in Jordan on Sunday afternoon following Iranian missile fire aimed at the city of Aqaba, according to reports. The alerts come minutes after a similar siren report in the country. No immediate reports of interceptions or casualties.
At 15:26 Jerusalem, reports indicated that sirens sounding in Jordan were triggered by Iranian missiles fired toward the port city of Aqaba. The alert follows an initial siren report at 15:13 Jerusalem, first carried by ynet, and a second report at 15:14. Earlier, at 15:13, a security analyst reported loud explosions heard from the direction of Jordan.
The thread began with ynet reporting sirens at 15:13, followed by a security analyst's account of explosions. A second siren report came at 15:14. The cause of the first alerts was not immediately known. The new identification of Aqaba as the target marks a specific development in the ongoing sequence.
The Zioneer has previously reported on Iranian missile launches toward Jordan and Gulf states, including a technical malfunction in Jordan on June 14 and a series of strikes in recent weeks. On Saturday, sirens were reported in Jordan and Kuwait after Iranian launches.
No reports of interceptions or casualties have been confirmed. The status of the missiles and whether any were intercepted remains unclear. The cause of the earlier sirens unrelated to the Aqaba fire has not been specified.
