The US has accused Russian fighter aircraft of "harassing" drones that had been engaged in a mission over Syria.

Footage was released by US Central Command that appears to show the Russian SU-35 fighter jets flying close to the US MQ-9, which were monitoring so-called Islamic State (IS) targets.

US Air Force Lieutenant General Alex Grynkewich described the Russian manoeuvre as "unsafe and unprofessional."
