The Jordanian Armed Forces said on Saturday that 240 missiles and drones have targeted the kingdom since the outbreak of the Middle East war last month, with the vast majority intercepted.
“The total number of missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles launched towards the Kingdom since the start of the war has reached 240,” the military said in a statement.
According to the army, the Royal Jordanian Air Force successfully intercepted and destroyed 222 of them, while 18 missiles and drones were not intercepted by air defences.
The army’s media office added that 36 missiles and drones targeted the kingdom in the past week alone. Of those, 14 missiles and 21 drones were intercepted and destroyed, while one attack was not prevented.
Jordan has been increasingly affected by the regional escalation following the US-Israel strikes on Iran, with spillover attacks reaching its territory.
While Iran has primarily targeted US-linked interests in the region, some strikes have also hit civilian infrastructure.
Despite the scale of the attacks, Jordan has reported no fatalities since the start of the conflict. Health authorities had previously confirmed 29 injuries, with all those affected having since been discharged from hospital.
The figures underline growing regional instability, even in countries not directly involved in the conflict.
