AMMAN, July 1 (Xinhua) -- Three missiles landed Saturday near the Jaber border post on Jordan's northern border with Syria, with no injuries or damage reported, according to Petra news agency.

The incident happened as Syrian air force jets targeted rebels inside Syrian territory, said a statement from Jordan armed forces.

It said two rockets fell near the civil defense building and the third one struck close to the Jaber-Ramtha road, igniting a fire.

Several similar incidents have happened in the Jordanian village near the borders with Syria since the start of the Syrian crisis in 2011.
