Jordanian security forces carried out a raid in the city of Ramtha targeting individuals classified as outlaws, according to a Roya News correspondent.

The correspondent confirmed intermittent shots could be heard while security forces worked to cordon off key locations.

Government spokesperson and the Minister of Government Communication, Mohammad Momani, said that details of the operation will be announced by the relevant authorities once the raid concludes.

The Public Security Directorate (PSD) reported that a special security unit raided a site in Ramtha on Tuesday evening sheltering two brothers wanted for extremist-related investigations.

Upon arrival, the suspects opened heavy fire on the unit, injuring three officers who were hospitalised for treatment. The suspects, who had used their mother as a human shield, were killed during the operation. Authorities ensured the mother was unharmed.

The raid also led to the seizure of firearms and ammunition at the location.
