Watch: Explosions light up Amman sky as Iran launches dozens of missiles and drones at Israel

Iran launched dozens of missiles and drones toward Israel in the early hours of Sunday morning (14 April).

Residents reported seeing missiles in the sky and hearing explosions, likely from interceptions above the Jordanian capital.
