Ammon News - The Eastern Military Zone thwarted four attempts early Tuesday morning to smuggle large quantities of narcotics into Jordan using electronically guided balloons within its area of responsibility along the eastern border.

The balloons were detected by border guard units, dealt with, and shot down along with their cargo inside Jordanian territory in coordination with security agencies and the Anti-Narcotics Department.

The seized items were handed over to the relevant authorities for the necessary legal procedures.
