US aircraft shot down an Iranian-made drone close to al-Tanf border crossing, two days after the US coalition gunned down a Syrian SU-22 bomber southwest of Raqqa.

According to a CNN reporter, a US F-16 fighter jet downed an Iranian-made drone – type Shahed 129 – near al-Tanf.

According to the same reporter, the drone was armed and “posed a threat to the US forces stationed the area”.
