Eastern Military Zone Foils Two Drug Smuggling Attempts Using Guided Balloons
Amman, Sept. 8 (Petra) -- The Eastern Military Zone foiled two attempts to smuggle large quantities of narcotics using guided balloons along the Kingdom's eastern border early Tuesday.
Border Guard units detected and tracked the balloons before bringing them down inside Jordanian territory and seizing the narcotics they were carrying.
The operation was carried out in coordination with military security agencies and the Anti-Narcotics Department. The seized drugs were handed over to the competent authorities for the necessary legal action.
The Jordanian Armed Forces-Arab Army (JAF) reaffirmed its commitment to firmly confronting cross-border smuggling and infiltration attempts, while closely monitoring the methods used by smugglers and taking the necessary operational measures to thwart them.
