A Jordanian border guard was killed and another was wounded in an early Tuesday clash with smugglers along the Syria-Jordan border, a military source reported.
The incident, marked by reduced visibility due to dense fog, involved a major shootout with tens of smugglers. A Jordanian Armed Forces source stated that the smugglers, attempting to exploit the foggy conditions, were intercepted while transporting a substantial quantity of narcotics from Syria into Jordan, Jordan News Agency (Petra) reported.
During the exchange, an officer of the Border Guard forces was fatally shot, while another officer sustained injuries. The military source emphasized the Armed Forces commitment to firmly and decisively counter any attempts at border infiltration or smuggling, reinforcing their dedication to maintaining national security and border integrity.
