STORYLINE:
Sirens blared in the capital, Amman on Friday after the Jordanian army announced the detection of missiles and drones in the kingdom’s skies.
The army said later in a statement that the Royal Jordanian Air Force jets and air defense systems have intercepted several missiles and drones that entered Jordanian airspace.
The interceptions were carried out based on military assessments indicating that the missiles and drones were likely to fall within Jordanian territory, including populated areas, posing a potential threat to civilian safety, the statement added.
The statement said that Jordan Armed Forces are operating "around the clock to defend the country’s borders by land, sea, and air and will not allow any violation of Jordanian airspace under any circumstances."
