A senior Iranian Army commander says the Islamic Republic will stage large scale drone drills across the country to show off its "power".

At least three people were killed after Israel launched fresh airstrikes on the outskirts of Damascus late on Friday, Syrian media said, adding that the country’s air defenses intercepted “hostile targets”.

The Iranian Army intercepts two US military drones that had intruded into the country’s airspace and warned them not to approach the zone where it is holding massive drills.

The Iranian Army launched massive military exercises, in a vast expanse of land and sea.

The Iranian Army has staged a massive military exercise in the country’s southeastern coastal areas, with the participation of airborne units, special forces, and rapid reaction brigades.

Air defense divisions of the Army and the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) are participating in joint aerial maneuvers codenamed Modafean Aseman Velayat 1400.

The Russian military says Syrian air defense units have destroyed 8 of 12 Israeli missiles targeting the T-4 military airbase in the central province of Homs with Russian-made Pantsir systems.
