Explosion Near Ma'in hot springs sparks fires in Madaba; no injuries reported
ALBAWABA - A loud explosion shook the vicinity of the Ma'in Hot Springs in Madaba on Friday evening, igniting fires in the surrounding forested areas. Civil defense units were quickly dispatched to the scene to combat the flames and prevent their spread.
As of now, no casualties have been reported, and the extent of the damage remains unclear. Authorities have not yet released an official statement regarding the cause of the explosion or the circumstances surrounding the incident.
Meanwhile, Hebrew-language media reported a possible related event, claiming that a drone allegedly launched from Yemen was intercepted and downed over the Dead Sea region before it could enter Israeli-controlled airspace.
The incident has raised speculation about a potential security breach, though Jordanian officials have yet to confirm any connection between the explosion in Ma'in and the drone interception report. Investigations are ongoing. — قناة اليرموك الفضائية (@YarmoukTvSat) April 11, 2025
