(AFP) Turkish air force planes on Friday downed a drone of unknown origin which had violated Turkey's air space near the Syrian border, the military said.

Russia, whose jets operating in Syria had twice violated Turkish air space this month, insisted all its planes and drones were working as normal after the shoot-down.
