"The armed forces engaged 49 drones and ballistic missiles targeting Jordanian territory today," a military source said in a statement, adding that "13 ballistic missiles were successfully intercepted by Jordanian air defence systems, while drones were shot down".

The statement said "the interception operation resulted in material damage but no casualties".

A military official previously said the armed forces had shot down two missiles.

The Jordanian Public Security Directorate said the civil defence and police personnel had dealt with "54 reports resulting from falling objects and debris in the governorates of the capital, Zarqa, Jerash, Madaba, Irbid and West Balqa".
