WASHINGTON

The US Embassy in Jordan on Sunday warned of possible aerial threats amid regional tension, urging Americans in the country to exercise maximum caution.

The embassy "has indications there may be missiles, drones, or rockets flying over Jordanian airspace.

"Please maintain maximum awareness and, in the event of such an incident, seek overhead cover and shelter in place until further notice," the embassy said.

Due to high tensions in the region, it said the security environment remains "complex."

"We remind U.S. citizens of the continued need for caution," it added.

Since early Friday, Israel has launched a series of strikes against Iranian territory, targeting nuclear and missile facilities and killing senior military figures and leading scientists. Oil and gas infrastructure was also targeted.

Iran responded with missiles targeting several areas across Israel.
