The source said that rules of engagement in such incidents were applied and smugglers fled back to Syria.
Upon searching the zone, 353,000 Captagon pills, 150 palm-sized sheets of hashish, 1,388 Galica pills, 86 tramadol pills and half a kilogram of crystal were found, seized and referred to concerned authorities.
The source added that the zone personnel will not tolerate any infiltration or smuggling attempt and will always safeguard citizens and the Kingdom.
