Jordanian Forces Intercept Iranian Missiles, Military Says

Al Jazeera reported sirens in several Jordanian cities and confirmation of at least eight missiles, while TASS cited Jordanian military statements saying ten missiles were destroyed without casualties.
Jordan's air defense units intercepted missiles launched from Iran, according to statements from the Jordanian Armed Forces reported by multiple outlets. The interceptions triggered air raid sirens in several Jordanian cities, as reported by Al Jazeera, and occurred amid heightened regional tensions.
Coverage Comparison
Al Jazeera reported that sirens blared in several cities in Jordan as Iranian missiles were intercepted. The outlet also said the Jordanian Armed Forces confirmed that at least eight missiles were intercepted.
TASS — English, citing a statement from Jordan's armed forces carried by the Petra news agency, reported that Jordan's air defense systems intercepted and destroyed ten missiles launched by Iran. The TASS report noted that, according to the military, the interceptions caused neither casualties nor material damage, and that specialists are currently working at the sites where the missile debris fell.
The two outlets' reports differ on the number of missiles intercepted: Al Jazeera reported at least eight, while TASS reported ten. Neither report attributed the discrepancy to a specific cause, and both cited official Jordanian military statements.

AI-extracted; can misattribute a claim — see Methodology.
Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
