Jordanian media reported on Saturday that the death toll from the attack targeting a Coptic Orthodox church in the village of Hamoud in Karak Governorate had risen to eight, following the announcement of the death of one of the injured earlier in the day.
The Jordanian Public Security Directorate had previously announced that the attack resulted in seven deaths and 27 injuries, noting that the injured were receiving medical treatment.
Jordanian security agencies are continuing their investigation into the circumstances of the attack and pursuing those involved, while a security cordon has been established around the site.
This development coincides with tightened security measures at several locations, including shopping malls and foreign embassies in the capital, Amman, after the U.S. Embassy in Jordan issued a security advisory urging its citizens to exercise caution and follow instructions issued by Jordanian authorities.
