Radio Farda quoted agencies as saying that the Russian military says it has downed an unidentified drone approaching its Hmeimim air base in Syria.
The military said in a statement late on May 21 that the drone caused no casualties or physical damage before it was shot down near the base that serves as the main hub for Russian operations in Syria, Russian news agencies reported.
The British-based war monitoring group Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said explosions were heard near the base and appeared to have come from Russian air defenses confronting the drone.
