AMMAN, Oct. 14 (Petra) – 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.

Military surveillance systems detected the airborne devices attempting an unauthorized border crossing before counter-interception protocols were deployed to bring them down safely within Jordanian territory.

In a coordinated operation with 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) reiterated the complete operational readiness and vigilance of its Border Guard formations to neutralize emerging smuggling vectors and safeguard national security.
