The CH-47 Chinook helicopter in Kuwait came under attack yesterday.
Tasnim has published images showing the helicopter at the scene, providing visual evidence of the incident.
In a statement on Friday night, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) said its air defense units shot down a fighter jet and five unmanned or cruise aerial systems in one day, calling it a “dark day” for US and Israeli air forces.
The US and the Israeli regime launched a large-scale unprovoked military campaign against Iran following the assassination of then Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, along with several senior military commanders and civilians on February 28.
The attacks have involved extensive aerial strikes on both military and civilian locations across Iran, causing significant casualties and widespread damage to infrastructure.
In response, the Iranian Armed Forces have carried out retaliatory operations, targeting American and Israeli positions in the occupied territories and at regional bases with waves of missiles and drones.
