In a significant interception, the Jordanian military has thwarted a drone carrying crystal meth as it entered Jordanian airspace from neighbouring Syria. This incident highlights the ongoing battle against narcotics smuggling in the region and adds to the series of drones previously downed by Jordan from Syria, often carrying illicit substances or weapons.
According to a report by the state news agency Petra, the Jordanian military successfully gained control of and downed the drone. The seized crystal meth was subsequently handed over to the appropriate authorities for further action. While Jordan has previously managed to intercept drones from Syria transporting narcotics or weaponry, the identification of the seized drugs as crystal meth is relatively rare.
