A U.S. F-16 fighter jet shot down a combat drone belonging to Turkey, a NATO ally, on Oct. 5 over northern Syria, the Pentagon said.
Pentagon press secretary Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder repeatedly called it a “regrettable incident” during a news conference the same day.
U.S. forces observed several Turkish drones conducting armed strikes. The Turkish drones were reportedly operating in Al Hasakah, an area of northern Syria that U.S. forces had declared to be restricted. The Turkish drones reportedly flew within a kilometer (a little over a half-mile) of U.S. forces operating in the area.
