Jordan Intercepts Five Iranian Missiles Over Azraq

Jordan: Jordanian air defence systems intercepted and shot down five missiles launched from Iran targeting the Azraq region in Zarqa Governorate late Tuesday evening, a military official at the General Command of the Jordanian Armed Forces-Arab Army confirmed.

According to Emirates News Agency, the interception resulted in falling debris, but the Jordan News Agency (Petra) quoted the military source as confirming there were no human casualties or material damage. Specialised military engineering teams have been deployed to clear the missile debris and ensure no unexploded ordnance remains in the affected areas.

The General Command emphasised that the armed forces are closely monitoring ongoing regional developments and maintain maximum operational readiness to protect Jordan's airspace, sovereignty, and territorial integrity. The military official reiterated that Jordan will not allow its airspace to be violated by any party.
