Amman, Nov. 17 (Petra) Officers at the Southern Military Zone on Sunday foiled an attempt to smuggle a quantity of narcotics using a drone along its western front and within its area of responsibility, the Jordan Armed Forces said.

The interception was carried out in coordination with military security agencies and the Anti-Narcotics Department after Border Guard forces detected the drone and applied rules of engagement, bringing it down inside Jordanian territory. The seized materials were handed over to the competent authorities.
