Jordanian Eastern Command thwarted two attempts to smuggle a large quantity of narcotics at dawn on Wednesday within its area of responsibility, according to a military statement.
The statement said the drugs were being transported using electronically guided balloons and were detected by Border Guard units during routine monitoring along the eastern front.
Security forces intercepted the balloons, brought them down, and seized their payloads inside Jordanian territory in coordination with security agencies and the Anti-Narcotics Department.
The confiscated materials were handed over to the relevant authorities to take the necessary legal measures.
Jordanian armed forces have repeatedly warned against increasingly sophisticated drug smuggling methods, reaffirming their commitment to protecting the Kingdom’s borders and national security.
