Jordan's armed forces, via the state news agency, said its air defences destroyed 18 of 20 ballistic missiles fired from Iran late on 8 September, that two fell in unpopulated areas and that there were no casualties, Reuters reported. CBS News, citing people with direct knowledge, reported that the overnight attack on Muwaffaq Salti Air Base struck an A-10, which lost a wing, and lightly damaged about eight F-15s, that US forces fired more than 30 Patriot interceptors and that no US deaths were reported. President Trump denied that aircraft were damaged, while a US official contradicted him, the Times of Israel reported on 10 and 11 September.
