Kamikaze drone destroyed in Shahr-e Rey district, and mini drone brought down near Tehran Oil Refinery, says Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps

Iranian forces shot down two Israeli unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) over Tehran, the country's capital, Iranian media reported on Friday.

A kamikaze drone was destroyed in the Shahr-e Rey district, south of Tehran, and a mini drone was brought down near the Tehran Oil Refinery, the local Mehr News Agency reported, citing an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) statement.

Hostilities broke out last Friday when Israel launched airstrikes on several sites across Iran, including military and nuclear facilities, prompting Tehran to launch retaliatory strikes.

Israeli authorities said at least 25 people have been killed and hundreds injured since then in Iranian missile attacks.

The death toll in Iran has risen to at least 639, the Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA) has said, while more than 1,300 are wounded.
