But the earlier attack was denied by counter-terrorism service and it said in a statement no drone was shut down.
Separately, an unidentified army drone crashed in eastern Diyala province, which borders Iran, on Thursday evening, said security officials.
Iraqi security forces sealed off the crash site, around 60 km (40 miles) to the east of the city of Baquba, police sources said.
Security officials said parts of wreckage from the crashed drone were taken for further investigation to determine the drone’s identity which has not yet been uncovered.
