US drone crashes in northern Syria, Air Force says

A U.S. military drone crashed in northern Syria while carrying out a combat mission against ISIS, the Air Force said Tuesday. According to a statement, the MQ-9 Reaper drone was not brought down by enemy fire and there were no reports of civilian injuries or damage in the crash. The statement added that aircraft of the U.S.-led coalition destroyed the crashed drone before it could fall into ISIS hands. An investigation will be conducted to determin the exact cause of the crash. The Obama administration has often used unmanned aircraft to target leaders of terror groups.
