A security officer was killed and another injured in a stabbing incident while on duty outside the Sri Lankan embassy in Amman, Jordan.

The Jordanian Public Security Directorate condemned the incident, describing it as a cowardly terrorist act, and stated that investigations are currently underway.

This attack occurs just weeks after a rare incident in the Al-Karak governorate, where an assault on a church resulted in multiple casualties.
