Some shrapnel fell but no casualties or material damage have been reported, the outlet reports.
It comes after sirens sounded earlier, with a government spokesperson confirming the attempted strikes.
The US, which operates a military base in Jordan, is yet to comment.

The US Embassy in Jordan has told American citizens to seek cover as "reports indicate missiles, drones, or rockets are in Jordanian airspace".
It says that it will continue to review the situation and provide further information as needed.
The Iranian Armed Forces have launched cruise missile strikes against several US warships off the coast of Bahrain, the Islamic Republic’s state television reported.
"Iran’s Armed Forces have fired cruise missiles at US vessels stationed off the coast of Bahrain," the TV reported, citing an Iranian military representative.
According to the report, a US destroyer was among those targeted. There is no information about possible damage to US warships.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry on Thursday condemned the latest U.S. strikes against several regions in Iran's southern coastal provinces and two bridges in the country's northeastern provinces.
In a statement, the ministry described the attacks on two bridges along the rail routes from Gorgan to Incheh Borun and Mashhad to Tehran as "flagrant war crimes."
It stressed that the U.S. strikes within the past 48 hours, carried out under the "false pretext" of responding to earlier incidents involving ships crossing the Strait of Hormuz, were in blatant violation of the United Nations Charter and a recently signed memorandum of understanding (MoU) between the two countries on ending the war.
The ministry also accused the United States of using the strikes to justify its "continued non-compliance" with the MoU.
