DUBAI: The Jordanian army on Monday downed a drone coming from Syrian territory, said a statment by the Jordanian army on Monday. The army said in a statement that the drone was brought down in its territory but did not say what it was carrying. Officials have recently revealed weapons were being smuggled as well as narcotics by drone. This incident highlights the ongoing challenges and security concerns that Jordan face along its borders, particularly with the use of emerging technologies like drones.

The smuggling attempt was thwarted in collaboration between the Drug Control Department and military security services.
