KUWAIT: A pilotless US military drone has crashed in Kuwait, the small Gulf Arab state’s defence ministry said in a statement.
The incident occurred in Bir Mutla, the ministry said, near the Ali Al Salem air base which hosts U.S. air force personnel and planes.
Photos have emerged on Twitter of a US attack drone ablaze in a rural area of Kuwait after crashing near an airbase. The incident was confirmed by the country’s Defense Ministry.
The Twitter photos show a large blaze on the ground, in which lies an apparently completely destroyed UAV.
According to the ministry’s statement, no one was injured in the crash. No information was immediately available on the causes of the crash.
