Amman, Feb. 22 (Petra) -- The Eastern Military Zone thwarted an attempt to smuggle a quantity of narcotics into the Kingdom early Sunday using electronically guided balloons, according to a military statement.

Border Guard units detected the balloons through surveillance operations and successfully intercepted them, forcing their payload to drop inside Jordanian territory. The operation was carried out in coordination with security agencies and the Anti-Narcotics Department.

The seized materials were transferred to the relevant authorities to take the necessary legal measures.
