"The armed pro-regime Shaheed-129 UAV was shot down by a U.S. F-15E Strike Eagle at approximately 12:30 a.m. after it displayed hostile intent and advanced on Coalition forces", a statement read.
An American F/A-18E Super Hornet shot down a Syrian SU-22 on Sunday evening as it "dropped bombs" near a US-backed alliance called the Syrian Democratic Forces, who are fighting IS, the US-led coalition said in a statement.
The U.S. F-15 shot the drone down after it was intercepted and failed to change course, according to OIR.
Australia on Tuesday suspended its airstrikes against Islamic State group targets in Syria as a precaution, after a USA fighter jet shot down a Syrian warplane earlier this week and Russian Federation warned the US -led coalition from flying over Syrian army positions west of the Euphrates River.
On several occasions in recent weeks, warplanes of the US-led coalition have also struck pro-regime forces to prevent them advancing from the Al Tanf garrison in southeastern Syria at a spot where the country's borders join Iraq and Jordan.
On Sunday, the United States shot down a Syrian warplane for the first time, prompting Russian Federation to issue a threat to coalition aircraft flying west of the River Euphrates, saying they "will be considered air targets".
The incident - the first of its kind since the USA started fighting ISIS in Syria in 2014 - prompted Russian Federation to issue a threat to coalition aircraft flying west of the River Euphrates that they "will be considered air targets".
The ministry also said that Russian Federation was discontinuing cooperation with the U.S. military as part of the memorandum on preventing mid-air incidents and ensuring flights safety during operations in Syria.
Explosion rocks Brussels train station; suspect 'neutralized'
The authorities said Belgian soldiers "neutralised" the suspect, although it was not clear if the suspect survived. Brussels central station remained shut overnight, re-opening at around 8 a.m. local time (0600 UTC) on Wednesday.
Elsewhere, the USA military confirmed Tuesday that top ISIS cleric Turki al-Binali was killed in a coalition airstrike May 31 in Mayadeen, Syria. The SDF are supported by US airpower, and they have begun their assault on Raqqa. U.S. officials said the plane was armed and flying "erratically". The bomb did not explode, but the action was deemed a threat, and the drone was shot down.
Syrian military officers described it as a major achievement that boosts the coordination of border security between Iraq and Syria.
"There's no authorization for military force that Congress has passed that gives the president the ability to take military action against the Syrian regime", Murphy said.
Sharif says the missile launch reflects Iran's "military power" though Iran has no intention of starting another war.
The latest stoush between with Putin over Syria began dramatically on Sunday when the United States shot down a Syrian jet in countryside south of Raqqa, a stronghold of IS.
While government troops may be far from in control of that area and are unlikely to go after the city of Raqqa, Syria expert Sam Heller of the Century Foundation said the forces "have done enough to insert themselves that they're now a fact on the ground".
In another first, Iran - another close Assad ally - fired ballistic missiles at IS targets in eastern Syria, in the province of Deir el-Zour, later on Sunday.
More than 320,000 people have been killed since Syria's conflict began with anti-government demonstrations in March 2011.
