Jordan Army foils drone drug smuggling attempt

The Jordanian Armed Forces' Southern Military Command thwarted an attempt to smuggle drugs using two drones early Friday morning along its western border.

Border guards in the southern region, in coordination with military security agencies and the Anti-Narcotics Department, successfully intercepted the two drones as they attempted to cross the border, the statement by the JAF said.

It added that after the drones were monitored and tracked, rules of engagement were applied, leading to their downing within Jordanian territory. The seized materials were then transferred to the relevant authorities.
