The Eastern Military Zone on Thursday dawn foiled an attempt to smuggle narcotics into the Kingdom using electronically guided balloons within its area of responsibility.

Border Guard units detected the balloons and tracked their movement before engaging and bringing them down inside Jordanian territory, in coordination with security agencies and the Anti-Narcotics Department.

The balloons and their cargo were intercepted and seized, and the materials were referred to the competent authorities for legal action.
