Amman, June 11 (Petra) — Jordanian air defense systems, supported by
Royal Air Force aircraft, intercepted and shot down 20 missiles
launched from Iran toward the Azraq area in Zarqa Governorate early
Thursday, according to a military source at the General Command of
the Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army.

The operation was carried out as part of ongoing measures to
safeguard the Kingdom’s airspace and address potential threats
stemming from regional developments.

The military source said the interception resulted in the fall of
missile debris in the area, but no injuries or material damage were
reported.

Engineering teams were deployed to deal with the remnants of the
missiles and ensure that no unexploded materials remained at the
sites where debris fell.

The source emphasized that the Jordan Armed Forces continue to
closely monitor regional developments and maintain the highest levels
of operational readiness in response to evolving security conditions.

He reaffirmed that the armed forces remain committed to protecting
the Kingdom’s airspace, defending its sovereignty and preserving the
security and integrity of its territory.

The source also stressed that any violation of Jordanian airspace
will be dealt with decisively and that the armed forces will continue
carrying out their duties to ensure the safety and security of the
Kingdom.
