The incident resulted in the tragic loss of eight lives and left 34 others injured. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson, Randhir Jaiswal, expressed heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families and reaffirmed India's commitment to fighting terrorism in all its forms. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar also condemned the attack, stating that India stands firmly with the government and people of Jordan during this difficult time.
