Jordan’s military reported intercepting two ballistic missiles that entered its airspace before impact. The incident occurred as regional tensions intensified, with multiple explosions reported across the Middle East on Saturday. Al Jazeera said it was unclear who launched the missiles.
According to AFP, explosions were also heard in several areas of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, though authorities have not yet issued an official statement or confirmed casualties. Meanwhile, reports from international media indicated that Iran launched retaliatory missile strikes following joint attacks by Israel and the United States on the office of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Bahrain confirmed that its territory, including the U.S. Navy’s Fifth Fleet headquarters, was targeted.
Explosions were also reported in Kuwait and Abu Dhabi, with witnesses describing smoke rising from affected areas. The situation remains fluid as regional governments assess damage and potential responses.
