Ukraine shot down its own drone

Ukraine reportedly shot down one of its own unmanned drones after it “lost control” over Kiev on Thursday, according to the Ukrainian Air Force, the AFP news agency said.

According to the air force, the incident occurred around 20:00 local time on Thursday. The drone, a Bayraktar or TB2 as it is also known, lost control while flying over the Kiev region. The drone is said to have been destroyed.

The cause is “probably” a technical error, according to the air force.
