(MENAFN- Jordan News Agency)

Amman, Sept. 10 (Petra) -- The Southern Military Zone foiled an attempt early Thursday to smuggle a large quantity of narcotics into Jordan using guided balloons.

Border Guard forces detected the balloons as they attempted to cross into Jordanian territory, intercepted and brought them down, and seized the narcotics they were carrying.

The operation was conducted in coordination with military security agencies and the Anti-Narcotics Department. The seized drugs were referred to the competent authorities for the necessary legal action.

The Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army (JAF) stressed that Border Guard forces will continue to confront smuggling attempts using various methods and prevent narcotics from entering Jordanian territory.
