Jordan’s Public Security Directorate (PSD) issued a clarification Sunday morning confirming that the sudden, widespread activation of national civil defense sirens was entirely accidental and caused by an isolated mechanical system error.
The unexpected sirens, which briefly caused concern among residents across several municipalities, went off automatically while technical maintenance crews were attempting to fix an ongoing malfunction in one of the localized warning units.
The PSD assured the public that specialized engineering teams intercepted the automated glitch and resolved the issue immediately, stressing that there is no emergency on the ground and all national safety systems are operating under normal parameters.
