TEHRAN – Rounds of bullets were seen being shot by an anti-aircraft machine gun in central Tehran.

The bullets were targeted at what seemed to be an unmanned aerial vehicle. Trajectories were easy to notice.

Reportedly, the flying object, a tiny drone, had been shot down after straying into a heavily-guarded zone in downturn Tehran, where a residence of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei is located.

“Investigation is underway,” said Ali Asghar Naserbakht, a security official with Tehran Governors Office, adding, “it is not yet clear to which institute or organization the drone belongs.”
