Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleJordan’s military says in a statement that its air defenses have shot down five missiles coming from Iran that targeted the kingdom’s territory, adding that the attack caused no casualties.
The military’s official spokesperson says “air defenses engaged five missiles launched from Iran targeting the kingdom’s territory early this morning, Thursday. The missiles were detected, intercepted and shot down according to established defense plans,” the statement says.
