Ammon News - The Eastern Military Zone thwarted two attempts to smuggle a large quantity of narcotics into the Kingdom early Wednesday morning, loaded with electronically guided balloons.

Border Guard units detected the balloons through surveillance operations and successfully intercepted them, forcing their payload to drop inside Jordanian territory. The operation was carried out in coordination with security agencies and the Anti-Narcotics Department.

The seized items were transferred to the competent authorities to take the necessary measures.
