It is believed that this was the first time a drone was used to smuggle drugs from Syria to Jordan.
The army source
indicated that through monitoring and follow-up, the drone was controlled and
shot down, and after searching the area, unspecified quantities of narcotics
were found.
JAF will not tolerate any
attempts to threaten the security of the Kingdom and its people and will deal
firmly and strictly to thwart any smuggling or infiltration attempts across its
borders, the source added.
