A Russian fighter aircraft fired flares at a U.S. MQ-9 drone over Syria and damaged its propeller on Sunday, the U.S. Air Forces Central said in a statement on Tuesday.
"Fortunately, the MQ-9 crew was able to maintain flight and safely recover the aircraft to its home base."
There has been no response from Russia as yet.
