The Jordanian army said on Tuesday it had downed a drone carrying drugs from Syria into its northern frontier region.
The kingdom has blamed pro-Iranian militias, who it says are protected by units within the Syrian army, for smuggling drugs across its borders towards lucrative Gulf markets, Reuters reported.
"We are continuing to deal with resolve and force with any threat to our borders and any attempt to destabilize the security of the nation," the army said in a statement.
The plane was intercepted and downed on its side of the border, it said.
