Ammon News - The Eastern Military Zone thwarted, early Thursday on its front and within its area of responsibility, an attempt to smuggle a quantity of narcotics using electronically guided balloons.

The balloons were detected by border guard units, which engaged with them, brought them down, and intercepted their cargo inside Jordanian territory in coordination with security agencies and the Anti-Narcotics Department.

The seized materials were transferred to the relevant authorities to take the necessary legal procedures.
