US mission in Amman urges staff to avoid embassy over risk of attack

AMMAN: The US embassy in the Jordanian capital Amman on Sunday urged staff to avoid the embassy compound, citing a risk that it could come under attack.
“The US Embassy in Jordan has instructed all Mission personnel to continue to shelter-in-place and avoid the US Embassy Amman compound, as it may be targeted,” it said in a statement.
It comes a day after the kingdom said a number of ballistic missiles were intercepted, as Iran retaliated with strikes across the region following US and Israeli attacks.
