Three missiles launched from Iran fell on Jordanian territory early Sunday without causing casualties, an official source from the Jordanian army said, as Bahrain and Oman reported fresh security incidents amid widening regional tensions.
Jordan's state-run news agency reported that damage from the missiles was limited to minor material losses, citing the army source.
Iran earlier claimed it had launched a ballistic missile strike on Jordan's Prince Hassan Air Base, saying it destroyed a command-and-control center and hangars housing MQ-9 drones.
Sirens sounded again in Bahrain because of Iranian attacks, and authorities urged the public to move to the nearest safe areas.
In a statement on the U.S.-based social media platform X, Bahrain's Interior Ministry said sirens had been activated again and called on citizens and residents to remain calm and go to the nearest safe point.
The ministry also urged the public to follow information only from official sources.
Bahrain's Interior Ministry had also announced earlier in the morning that sirens sounded twice because of Iranian attacks and called on the public to move to safe areas.
Oman's official news agency reported that some sites in the Musandam province were targeted by kamikaze drones, citing security sources.
The report said Oman condemned the attack and that all necessary measures had been taken to ensure the country's security and the safety of its citizens.
The report did not provide information on who carried out the attack or where the drones were launched from.
Tehran said it also launched attacks on U.S. military sites in Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar and Oman.
The United Arab Emirates said it had intercepted and responded to Iranian missile and drone strikes.
The U.S. launched a third round of strikes targeting radar, missile and drone sites across southern Iran.
The attacks came after Iran opened fire on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz and announced the closure of the strategic waterway until further notice, with one crew member missing, according to CENTCOM.
