Overview
- Jordanian forces detected six missiles fired from Iran toward the Aqaba area and said air‑defence batteries destroyed four while two fell in remote, uninhabited areas with no reported casualties or damage.
- U.S. military officials reported continued strikes inside Iran, described as a sustained campaign targeting aircraft hangars, drone storage and other military infrastructure.
- Explosions were heard by residents near Aqaba and in nearby Eilat, Israel, and Israeli officials said no impacts were found inside Israeli territory and that Israel did not launch interceptors.
- Civilian life and aviation were disrupted as at least one Arkia flight altered course midair, another flight was delayed while airborne, and Aqaba International Airport remained under heightened monitoring with searches for falling debris under way.
- Jordan said its military is on full operational alert and the episode underscores how the kingdom's location on the Red Sea places it on likely missile flight paths, increasing the chance of further spillover and regional escalation.
