Jordan’s military has intercepted four Iranian missiles targeting the kingdom, while two other missiles fell in remote, uninhabited areas, according to the Petra news agency.

The agency said that air defence systems detected six missiles coming from Iranian territory and dealt with them “immediately upon entering Jordanian airspace”.

“Air defence forces intercepted and shot down four of the incoming missiles, while the remaining two fell in remote, uninhabited areas,” the agency cited a military source as saying.

It added that there were no casualties or material damage due to the attack.
