A drone believed to be operated by the United States crashed in Iraq, according to multiple media reports, after videos circulated on social media showing a burning aircraft falling from the sky.
The footage appears to capture the aircraft descending in flames before crashing in Iraq’s Babil province. Several outlets identified the aircraft as a U.S. reconnaissance and strike drone, although no official confirmation has been issued by U.S. authorities.
The circumstances surrounding the incident remain unclear, and it has not been independently verified whether the drone was shot down or suffered a mechanical failure.
Officials have not released additional information on the crash, and the U.S. military has not publicly commented on the reports.
