Two civilians were injured by a falling “explosive object” in Jordan’s norther city of Irbid, Jordanian state media reported Saturday, in what appears to be the country’s first casualties after Israel and Iran began trading attacks.
Footage aired by state broadcaster al-Mamlaka TV, which reported the injuries, showed a building that was also damaged in the incident cordoned off by authorities on the scene.
The Jordanian Armed Forces said on Friday it would not allow any violation of the country’s airspace, under any circumstances.
Jordanian Air Force jets and air defense systems shot down several missiles and drones that entered Jordan’s airspace that day, the armed forces statement said.
