AMMAN, July 24 (Xinhua) -- The Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army said Friday its air defenses intercepted seven missiles and six drones launched from Iran.
The interception caused no casualties or material damage, the army said.
The army added its forces maintain maximum readiness to guard Jordanian airspace and counter any threat to national security.
The developments came amid heightened tensions across the Middle East, as the United States and Iran exchanged strikes in recent days. The United States has carried out attacks on Iranian targets, while Iran has responded by targeting U.S. bases and facilities across the region. ■
