Iranian military facility drone strike is thwarted, reports the media

Iranian air defenses downed a drone that was approaching a military compound in Isfahan province on Tuesday night, the news agency Tasnim reported. The incident occurred in the same province as the January 28 drone strike on a military “workshop” in the city of Isfahan, the capital of the eponymous province. Officials in Tehran claimed that the alleged culprits of the January strike were acting on orders from Israel. Three explosives-laden drones had reportedly approached the military facility. According to the Iranian Defense Ministry, one of the UAVs was shot down by air defenses, while the other two crashed into a protective mesh above the complex.

Defense officials at the time said that this unsuccessful attack did not cause any loss of life and caused minor damage to the workshop’s roof. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu neither confirmed nor denied responsibility for the attack.
