Washington Post: U.S. loses track of drone over Syria; Assad regime says plane shot down
The U.S. military has lost control of a drone over northwest Syria, U.S. officials said on Tuesday, as the government of President Bashar al-Assad claimed to have shot down a U.S. surveillance plane for the first time since U.S. airstrikes began there last year.
The official Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) reported that Syrian air defenses brought down a “hostile U.S. surveillance plane” in northern Latakia, on Syria’s northern Mediterranean coast.
A U.S. defense official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation, said the Pentagon was looking into the incident.
