IRGC says it shot down Israeli missile and drone over Iran

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) says it has shot down an intruding Israeli cruise missile.

In a statement on Friday, the IRGC’s Public Relations Department said its air defence systems, operating within Iran’s integrated air defence network, destroyed a long-range stealth missile with a 1,000-pound warhead in the skies over the city of Zanjan, News.Az reports, citing Iran’s English-language Press TV.

In a separate statement, the IRGC command in Qazvin Province said its air defence units also destroyed an Israeli suicide drone over East Alamut.
