Iran Intercepts U.S. Drones During Military Drills

Iran said it intercepted two U.S. drones that reportedly violated its airspace during military drills in the country’s southern waters.

The country’s army said in a statement that its air defense unit “intercepted and seriously warned” what it identified as MQ-9 and RQ-4 drones.

Last year, Iranian media reported a nearly identical account of a similar incident during military drills that involved intercepting two U.S. drones and a U.S. aircraft by an Iranian drone.
