The Iranian Defense Ministry announced on early Sunday successfully thwarting a drone attack on a defense industrial complex in the central Iranian province of Isfahan, local media reported.

In a released statement, the Ministry said one of three Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) attacking the defense equipment manufacturing complex in Isfahan was downed by a defense system stationed inside the facility,

According to the statement, two other MAVs exploded after being caught in traps set by the system, pointing out that the unsuccessful attack failed due to the preparedness of the defense system stationed in the region.

"Thanks to God’s blessing, the attack caused no disruption to the equipment and the operations of the complex," the statement said, assuring the Iranian nation that such blind attacks will have no effect on the country’s overall march toward progress.
