The United States says it shot down
a pro-Syrian government drone after it fired at coalition forces.
Report says, the armed drone was flying near a de-confliction zone in the country's
south-east, close to the Jordanian and Iraqi borders.
A US military spokesman said this
was the first time that pro-Syrian government units had attacked US-led
coalition forces.
No members of the coalition forces
are reported to have been hurt. US Col.Ryan Dillon said that even if
the drone had only been firing a warning shot, it was something that showed a
hostile intent.
It would be recalled that Last
month, US-led coalition aircraft bombed
a convoy of
pro-Syrian government forces near the Tanf base.
