The United States has expressed regret over one of its fighter jets shooting down a Turkish drone in north-eastern Syria.
An American F-16 fighter aircraft shot down a Turkish unmanned aerial vehicle that had been observed conducting airstrikes in a U.S.-restricted operating zone about a kilometer from U.S. forces in Syria on Thursday.
Pentagon Press Secretary Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder said at a media briefing that at around 7:30 a.m. local time, U.S. forces observed UAVs conducting airstrikes in the vicinity of Hasakah, a city in the northeastern corner of Syria.
