Another U.S. drone has been crashed in Turkey.

According to a statement on the website of Turkey's Incirlik air base, a U.S. Air Force drone MQ-1 Predator was crashed in southeastern Turkey's Sanliurfa province.

The drone was being remotely piloted when it crashed at about 11:50 a.m. local time, according to the statement.
