Baku:Border Guard units within the Eastern Military Zone intercepted and downed two guided balloons carrying substantial quantities of narcotics attempting to breach Jordanian airspace early Wednesday.
According to Jordan News Agency, military surveillance systems detected the airborne devices trying to cross the border without authorization. Counter-interception protocols were deployed to bring them down safely within Jordanian territory.
In a coordinated operation involving military intelligence, security services, and the Anti-Narcotics Department (AND), the illicit shipment was secured and handed over to competent legal authorities for processing.
The General Command of the Jordanian Armed Forces-Arab Army (JAF) emphasized the ongoing readiness and vigilance of its Border Guard formations to neutralize emerging smuggling methods and safeguard national security.
