Jordanian air defenses successfully intercepted and downed two ballistic missiles that were targeting Jordanian territory, according to a military source from the Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army.
The military source, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed the interception took place on Saturday. No further details about the origin or intended targets of the missiles were immediately released.
Separately, the same source addressed reports of unusual aerial sounds heard across several regions of the kingdom. These sounds, the source clarified, were the result of routine operational flights conducted by the Royal Jordanian Air Force.
These sorties are part of ongoing reconnaissance and aerial patrol operations aimed at safeguarding Jordanian airspace and preventing any unauthorized intrusions or illegal activities.
The Jordan Armed Forces, the source emphasized, remains committed to its national duty of protecting the kingdom's skies and preserving its sovereignty with utmost efficiency and competence. The source urged citizens to refrain from spreading rumors and to obtain information solely from official sources.
