The US-led coalition shot down an Iran-made drone operated by pro-regime forces in southern Syria early Tuesday, a US official said, the second such incident in less than two weeks.
A US military official told AFP that an F-15 Strike Eagle jet destroyed the Shahed 129 drone around 12:30 am (2130 GMT) northeast of the At-Tanaf garrison, which is close to the Jordanian border.
"They were threatening our forces on the ground," the official said.
"Their course was on a run toward our folks to drop a munition on them."
