Jordanian border guards ​stopped a group of 14 armed individuals attempting to cross ‌into ‌northern Jordan ​from ‌Syria, ⁠the ​armed forces ⁠said in a statement on Saturday.

The group ⁠tried to ‌infiltrate on ‌Friday ​under ‌heavy ‌fire and direct engagement, causing numerous casualties ‌among the armed group, while ⁠the remaining ⁠members fled back into Syria, the armed forces said.

The clash came days after Jordanian strikes in Syria raised tensions between the neighbors. 

Syria's foreign minister said on Saturday that border security is a shared responsibility between his country and Jordan and that a high-level meeting is expected next month to discuss arrangements, AP reported.

Speaking at a security forum in Bahrain, Assad Al-Shibani said there are no “skirmishes” between the countries.

Jordan said the strikes over Syria last week killed 20 militants from the extremist Daesh group, but acknowledged that civilians had also been killed in the attacks.

Syrian authorities reported seven people killed in the strikes, most of them women and children.
