A United States (US) drone crashed in the Yüreğir town of southern Adana province of Turkey after departing from Incirlik Airbase.



The drone fell into a citrus garden near the road connecting the town to another town, Karataş.



The teams opened an investigation in an attempt to determine the cause of the accident.





October 20 of 2015, another drone belonging to US forces crashed due to technical failure in its predator motor in another southern Turkish province, Hatay.



The coalition forces of US, United Kingdom (UK) and Germany all have troops at Incirlik Airbase of Turkey as a part of the effort to fight against terrorist groups, particularly Daesh.
