RIYADH: said Wednesday it supported all measures taken by Jordan to thwart any attempts to undermine its security.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement: “ praises the measures taken by the security authorities in the sisterly Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan to thwart plots aimed at undermining Jordan's security and inciting chaos.”
Jordan said on Tuesday it had arrested 16 people who were trained and financed in Lebanon and had plotted attacks on targets inside the kingdom involving rockets and drones.
Jordanian authorities said at least one rocket was ready to be launched as part of an operation that had been under surveillance by security forces since 2021.
