Amman, July 20 (Petra) -- Air defense systems intercepted and shot down three missiles launched from Iranian territory overnight after they entered Jordanian airspace and were heading toward the kingdom, a military source at the General Command of the Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army said.

The source said the interception operation caused no casualties or material damage. Royal Engineering Corps teams were deployed to the sites where missile debris fell, securing the areas and handling the remnants in accordance with established technical and security procedures.

The source stressed that the armed forces continue to monitor the kingdom's airspace and maintain full operational readiness, adding that they will respond decisively to any threat to Jordan's security, sovereignty or the safety of its citizens in line with the military's rules of engagement.

The source also urged the public to rely on official sources for information and to refrain from circulating rumours or unverified reports.
