The Abdoun Bridge in the Jordanian capital Amman was illuminated in the colors of the national flag as a symbol of solidarity and national unity following a deadly shooting at a church in southern Jordan.

The tribute followed an attack earlier that day at the Greek Orthodox Church in the village of Hammoud, located in the Karak Governorate.

According to Jordanian authorities, armed assailants opened fire on attendees during a funeral procession, leaving at least seven people dead and dozens wounded.

Jordan’s Interior Ministry characterized the incident as a terrorist attack carried out by extremists, prompting security forces to launch an extensive investigation and manhunt.
