According to the Associated Press, three Reaper drones were searching for their target when Russian military jets tailed them—an incident that led to international headlines but no damaged equipment or injuries. Hours later, the drones struck Usamah al-Muhajir while the militant was riding his motorcycle near Aleppo, the AP reported. Authorities said they did not believe any civilians were harmed in the incident.
