Amman: The Eastern Military Zone successfully thwarted two attempts to smuggle a significant quantity of narcotics into Jordan at dawn on Friday. These attempts occurred along the border front and within the zone's area of responsibility.
According to Jordan News Agency, the drugs were being transported using guided balloons equipped with advanced electronic devices. The balloons were detected by Border Guard units, which engaged the targets and successfully brought them down inside Jordanian territory.
The source added that the balloons and their cargo were neutralized in coordination with security agencies and the Anti-Narcotics Department. The seized materials were subsequently handed over to the relevant authorities to take the necessary legal measures.
