The Jordanian military said it intercepted and shot down five missiles launched from Iran towards Azraq, adding that the operation “resulted in the fall of shrapnel without any human injuries or material damage,” local media reported.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has claimed attacks on United States military bases in Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan in retaliation for US strikes on Iranian ports and islands in the Strait of Hormuz.
Al Jazeera cited the Kuwaiti military as saying that it was intercepting “hostile aerial targets” in the country’s airspace, without elaborating further.
The latest escalation followed U.S. military strikes on Qeshm Island and several ports along Iran’s coast on the Strait of Hormuz, after Washington accused Tehran of downing a U.S. Apache helicopter earlier on Tuesday.
