"Jordanian Army Intercepts Drug-Laden Drone from Syria - State News Agency"
The Jordanian military intercepted and brought down a drone carrying crystal meth that was entering Jordanian territory from Syria, according to state news agency Petra. Syria has become a major hub for the drug trade, with Jordan serving as a transit route for the Syrian-made amphetamine known as captagon. While the Jordanian military has previously intercepted drones carrying narcotics or weapons from Syria, this is one of the rare instances where crystal meth has been identified. Jordan and Syria have held discussions to address the issue of smuggling, but Jordan claims that Syria has not made any significant efforts to combat the illicit trade.
