WASHINGTON, Nov. 8 (Xinhua) -- Iranian fighter jet has attacked a U.S. drone but missed, so the unmanned American aircraft suffered no damage and returned safely to base, the U.S. Defense Department confirmed Thursday.
In an announcement, Pentagon Press Secretary George Little said the Iranian aircraft fired at the U.S. drone and followed it as it flew over the Arabian Gulf last week.
Defense Department officials say this is the first time an unmanned aircraft has been shot at over international waters in the Arabian Gulf.
