Syrian air defences intercepted an unknown drone attack in the airspace of the Syrian city of Jableh on the Mediterranean coast, state media said on Monday.
It gave no details. Previously, rebels have struck at the nearby Russian air base of Hmeimim, and Israel has been active for years in striking at Iranian bases that are spread across the war-ravaged country.
