AMMAN — The Eastern Military Zone early Sunday foiled four attempts to smuggle large quantities of narcotics using electronically guided balloons along its border front.
Border Guard units detected the attempts and intercepted them, dropping the payloads inside Jordanian territory in coordination with security agencies and the Anti-Narcotics Department.
The seized materials were transferred to the relevant authorities for legal action, according to a Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army (JAF) statement.
In a separate incident, the Northern Military Zone on Saturday thwarted an infiltration attempt by four individuals of Arab nationalities who were trying to cross the border illegally.
Border Guard forces detected the individuals and applied the rules of engagement, arresting them without any injuries.
They were later referred to the competent authorities for the necessary legal procedures.
