Iran acknowledges for the first time supplying Russia with drones

Iran acknowledged for the first time on Saturday (November 5) that it had supplied Russia with drones, but said they were sent a few months before Moscow's forces invaded Ukraine.

Speaking at a summit in Tehran, Iran's foreign minister denied Tehran was continuing to supply drones.

In recent weeks Ukraine has reported a surge in drone attacks on civilian infrastructure, notably targeting power stations and dams, using Iranian-made drones.

Russia, which calls its invasion a "special military operation," denies its forces have used Iranian drones to attack Ukraine.
