The Eastern Military Zone foiled an attempt to smuggle narcotics into the Kingdom early Monday after security forces intercepted a shipment carried by electronically guided balloons.

According to a military source, Border Guard units detected the balloons while monitoring the zone's area of responsibility and immediately initiated procedures to intercept the attempted smuggling operation.

The source said the balloons and their payload were successfully brought down inside Jordanian territory in coordination with security agencies and the Anti-Narcotics Department.

The seized materials were subsequently transferred to the relevant authorities to complete the necessary legal and investigative procedures.
