Jordanian air defences intercepted 20 missiles launched from Iran overnight, state media reported on Thursday, after the US and Iran exchanged fresh attacks.

Debris came down during the operation, but it did not result in casualties or damage, state news agency Petra reported, citing the military.

The military continues to monitor the regional security situation, it said, adding that violations of Jordan's airspace would not be tolerated.

Fighting flared up again between Iran and the US overnight.

The US military has stationed fighter jets at a base in eastern Jordan, among other sites.

In addition to Jordan, the Gulf states of Bahrain and Kuwait also reported Iranian shelling overnight.
