12:45 GMT 08.11.2019 (Updated: 20:03 GMT 19.10.2022) The governor of Khuzestan Province, where the incident took place, earlier confirmed that the drone had been downed by the port's defences. He added that the drone definitely belongs to a foreign state and that details will be determined after its remains are retrieved by the Iranian military.
Iranian media have released a video showing how the country's domestically-produced air defence systems stationed at the southern port of Mahshahr shot missiles at an unidentified drone that violated the country's airspace. According to a report by the Tasnim News Agency, the air defence system Mersad was used to take down the drone.
