A massive explosion occurred overnight Thursday at a military warehouse on the outskirts of the Jordanian city of Zarqa, Arab News reported.
The installation, east of the city, contained idle mortar bombs belonging to the armed forces, said Amjad Adaileh, minister of state for media affairs.
The Jordanian Army said that an explosion occurred in one of the munitions depots under dismantling. The fire was caused by an electrical short circuit.
"According to the Armed Forces headquarters, until this moment, no injuries were recorded as a result of the explosion," Adaileh said.
The installation is located away from civilian areas and the blast could reportedly be heard 30 km away.
The army has cordoned off the area of the explosion and Civil Defense teams are at the scene trying to fight the flames, sources told Arab News.
A committee has been formed to determine the causes of the explosion, the report said.

There was also the suspicious rash of explosions in Iran. So I'd say "yes".
Here you go:
"... locations included nuclear enrichment facilities, missile sites, petrochemical centers, power plants and medical clinics."
Those things don't all go boom in the short space of a month. Something is definitely afoot.
There was a huge explosion while they were dismantling explosives, but no one was hurt.

I’ll save them some time and money. The explosion was caused by a fire that started from an electrical short circuit.
It is Joe Biden working on his Nibel Proze nomination. It is a BFD!!
I've been inside a US ammo dump, been about fifty years, IIRC there was NO ELECTRIC anywhere in the area?
That must have been the old school way?
Thanks for that link, I have been wondering GO TRUMP GO
Thanks. For some reason I didn’t clump them in.
With Hezbollah running things in Lebanon these days, it
could be argued that an objector to Iran and it’s policies
might be against Lebanon too. I don’t see Jordan in that
type of grouping though.
Nah, just widespread use of crappy Chinese electronics....

At least it wasn't in downtown Amann, and appears to be a Jordanian military supply dump, not terrorists.
Saboteurs?
