  "summary": "Jordan's government has strongly condemned the Houthi missile attack on Riyadh, describing it as a blatant violation of Saudi Arabia's sovereignty and a direct threat to its security, stability, and territorial integrity. The attack, which was intercepted and destroyed by Saudi Royal Air Defense Forces, involved the targeting of civilian sites in the Saudi cities of Bish, Taif, Farasan, and Yanbu. Jordanian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Ambassador Fouad Al-Majali reaffirmed the country's full solidarity with Saudi Arabia and pledged support for all measures the Kingdom takes to protect its security, resources, and the safety of its citizens and residents.",
