Iran-fired missiles violated Jordanian airspace, Amman says

BAGHDAD, Iraq — Sirens sounded across multiple areas of Jordan on Monday evening amid reports of loud explosions, as Iranian-fired missiles crossed into Jordanian airspace, according to the country's General Security Directorate. Israeli media reported that the blasts heard in the southern city of Eilat were linked to missiles launched from Iran toward Jordanian territory. Early assessments indicated the projectiles were directed at the area around King Hussein International Airport in the southern city of Aqaba, according to the cited reports. The General Security Directorate said sirens were activated across various parts of the country after Iranian missiles violated Jordanian airspace. It explained that three intermittent sirens indicated a security threat requiring precautions, while a single continuous siren signaled that the danger had passed and normal conditions could resume. The directorate later announced that the threat had ended once the sirens were stopped, as the security situation in the region continued to develop rapidly. No further details on casualties or damage were immediately available.
