IRBID/AMMAN — Two mortar shells fell on Ramtha as a result of “unstable security conditions” at the Syrian side of the border, an official said on Tuesday.
One of the shells fell on a barren lot of land and the second hit a house, causing mild material damages but no casualties, The Jordan News Agency, Petra, quoted an unnamed official as saying.
The border town of Ramtha, some 90km north of Amman, has a population of 120,000 people.
Back in August, six Jordanians from one family were injured after a shell fell on a house in the border town.
In June, a shell hit a house in Ramtha city, killing a 23-year-old man and injuring four others.
