Baghdad, September 27: A US reconnaissance drone has crashed into the office of one of Iraq’s biggest political parties, the US military has said.
The drone struck the local office of the Iraqi Islamic Party, Iraq’s biggest Sunni Arab political group in the northern city of Mosul on Saturday, Reuters reported.
Major Derrick Cheng, a military spokesperson in northern Iraq, says no injuries have been reported and there is no indication that the drone has been shot down.
Cheng said it was a coincidence that the drone struck the political party’s office.
The cause of the crash is under investigation.
Yahya Abid Mahjob, a senior party member, said the drone hit the roof and then crashed into the back yard. He added that the party has urged the US military to take more precautions with their drones, AP reported.
