Jordan condemns 'terrorist' attack on 'advanced position' on border with Syria

AMMAN -- Jordan on Sunday condemned the "terrorist" attack on "an advanced position" on its border with Syria, which resulted in the deaths of three US soldiers.

The attack also inflicted dozens of injuries among the US forces who are collaborating with Jordan in countering the threat of terrorism along Jordan's borders, the kingdom's Prime Ministry said in a statement on Sunday.

In a separate statement, Jordan's Minister of Government Communications Muhannad Mubaidin expressed his country's condolences to the United States for the victims of the drone attack and wished a speedy recovery to the wounded.

Mubaidin stated that the "terrorist" attack did not result in any deaths or injuries among the Jordanian Armed Forces.

He emphasized that Jordan will continue to confront the threats of terrorism, drug trafficking, and weapons smuggling across the border from Syria into Jordan.

"Jordan will stand firm and resolute against anyone attempting to jeopardize the kingdom's security," the minister said.

Jordan has announced a collaboration with partners to secure its borders, requesting necessary military systems and equipment from its ally, the US, and other nations to enhance its capabilities in resolving security threats and safeguarding the borders.
