Mystery rocket explodes in Jordan
 A rocket has exploded near the southern Jordanian city of Aqaba, damaging a warehouse but causing no casualties.The rocket was one of two fired early on Thursday which landed in Jordanian territory - the other fell into the Red Sea. There are conflicting reports as to where the rockets were launched. Egyptian officials denied Israeli reports they had come from Egypt's Sinai Peninsula. Jordan's PM said they had not been launched from his country. "We are 100% sure that the rocket which hit a warehouse in Aqaba was not fired from Jordanian territory, but from beyond our borders," Prime Minister Samir Rifai told AFP news agency. He added that the missile had been a Russian-designed Grad. Earlier police said they had found the remains of a Katyusha rocket. Your guess is as good as mine.
