According to an IRGC public relations statement, the drone was tracked and destroyed on Thursday morning near the coasts of Sirik in Hormozgan province.

The IRGC also claims that since the start of the U.S. and Israel’s war against Iran in February, Iranian forces have, in total, shot down 54 American drones of the MQ-9 type and 14 drones of the MQ-1 type.
