Russian aircraft damages US drone over Syria

Russia’s military damaged a U.S. drone that was flying over Syria on Sunday after a Russian fighter jet flew "dangerously close" and launched flares at the unmanned aircraft, hitting its propeller, U.S. officials said. U.S. Air Forces Central said Tuesday that the incident took place as the U.S. MQ-9 Reaper, an unmanned aerial vehicle, was on a mission against ISIS forces.
