Jordanian Army Intercepted Meth-Laden Drone from Syria

Jordan's military has intercepted and shot down a drone carrying crystal meth as it entered Jordanian territory from Syria. While Jordan has previously downed drones from Syria carrying narcotics or weapons, this is a rare instance of crystal meth being identified. Syria has become a major hub for the multibillion-dollar drug trade, with Jordan serving as a transit route for drugs like Captagon. Despite discussions between Jordan and Syria to combat smuggling, Jordan claims there has been no real effort from Syria to address the issue. Syrian President Bashar al-Assad denies Syria's involvement in the drug trade.
