Jordan Air Defense Systems Intercept, Neutralize Three Iranian Missiles

Amman, July 15 (Petra) -- An official military source at the General Command of the Jordanian Armed Forces–Arab Army said that national air defense systems successfully intercepted and shot down three ballistic missiles that breached Jordanian airspace from Iranian territory early Wednesday morning.

The source stressed that Jordanian airspace is an integral part of the Kingdom's sovereignty, adding that the interception operation was executed in accordance with established operational and defensive measures to protect the Kingdom's sovereignty, security, and citizens. The incident caused no casualties or material damage.

The source added that Royal Engineering Corps teams handled the fallen debris across several locations in accordance with approved technical and security protocols, taking all necessary precautions to secure the sites and ensure public safety.

The military source emphasized that the Jordanian Armed Forces–Arab Army reject any violation of the Kingdom's sovereignty or any use of its airspace in a manner that threatens its security and stability. The source added that the Armed Forces continue to closely monitor Jordanian airspace and track developments while maintaining the highest level of operational readiness.

The source stressed that the Armed Forces will respond to any breach of Jordanian airspace or threat to the Kingdom in accordance with the established rules of engagement and will take all necessary measures to safeguard Jordan's sovereignty and preserve its national security without hesitation.

Furthermore, citizens were urged to rely strictly on official sources for information and to avoid circulating unverified rumors.
