TEHRAN (ISNA)-An Iranian informed military official warned operational and electronic measures of the country's armed forces against aggressive drones would not be limited to Iranian borders.
"Aerial defense and electronic war units managed to take operational actions, locate and capture a US advanced spy drone RQ170 which violated border areas of eastern Iran," he said.
The plane was shot down with little damage and now is in the hands of Iranian armed forces, he added.
Iran's military announced Sunday it shot down an unmanned American drone over its eastern territory.
Iran called the measure a "violation of our airspace" and vowed an aggressive response.
