Jordanian air defenses intercepted and shot down 10 Iranian missiles that entered the kingdom's airspace before dawn Saturday, the Jordan Armed Forces said. The military said the missiles were targeting Jordanian territory and that no casualties or material damage resulted. Royal Engineering Corps teams began securing debris-impact sites under technical and security procedures. The armed forces said they remained at the highest readiness level to protect Jordan's sovereignty, airspace and citizens as Tehran continued retaliatory attacks on U.S. allies after renewed American strikes on Iran.
