Jordan's military says that six people were killed and 14 wounded in a car bomb attack on Jordanian troops along the kingdom's border with Syria.

The attack took place early on Tuesday in the Rukban district near a Syrian refugees camp, the Jordanian Armed Forces general command said in a statement on Tuesday.

The attack targeted a military post offering services to Syrian refugees, the statement said.

About 50,000 Syrians exist in the buffer zone on the Jordanian borders, awaiting entry into the kingdom.
