Mubasher: Iranian forces on Friday downed a drone belonging to a foreign country, state news agency IRNA said, citing an official.
“The downed drone definitely belonged to a foreign country [and] its wreckage has been recovered and is being investigated,” southern Khuzestan province governor Gholamreza Shariati was quoted by IRNA.
Earlier in the day, local media reported that forces shot down a drone over the port city of Mahshahr in Khuzestan, giving scant details on whether it was a military or civilian drone or the sending country.
Last June, Iran hit an unmanned US surveillance drone, which the Revolutionary Guards alleged it was flying over southern Iran.
