Car bomb in Jordan

A suicide-car bomb killed six Jordanian soldiers and injured 14 other soldiers in Jordan, near the Syrian border, on June 21. The attack occurred near the Rukban refugee camp in Syria, home to more than 50,000 Syrian refugees. No refugees were injured in the attack. No group claimed responsibility for the attack, which came from the Syrian side of the border.

On June 23, Jordan declared its borders between Syria and Iraq to be “closed military zones” and warned that it would consider any people or vehicles active within those areas without permission to be enemy targets. The country also suspended relief efforts along those zones.
