The U.S. military shot down a Turkish drone Thursday that came too close to U.S. troops on the ground in Syria, after more than a dozen warnings to stand down, according to officials.
The official said the drone was ordered to be shot down after more than a dozen calls to Turkish military officials U.S. troops were in the area and would go into self-defense mode if the drone did not leave. Greg Wehner is a breaking news reporter for Fox News Digital.
The second official reportedly told the wire service the drone was flying in a manner that was both "unsafe" and "unsynchronized."
