West Asia War Highlights | Iranian missile hits Jordan's Aqaba Airport
An Iranian missile hit Jordan's Aqaba Airport, with the impact visible from Eilat, Israel, reported Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) via X.
Israel has also stated that Iran has launched missiles toward neighbouring Jordan and warned that fire could spill over across its borders. It said Iran launched missiles toward the nearby Jordanian port city of Aqaba.
Israeli military warned people on Sunday to expect the first air raid sirens in weeks.
The region has endured days of back-and-forth attacks in a conflict increasingly focused on control of the strait, and the collapse of an interim ceasefire leaves no clear end in sight for the war that began more than four months ago.
