"An unarmed US Africa Command remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) was lost over Tripoli, Libya, Nov. 21. The incident is currently under investigation," Sputnik quoted US Africa Command (AFRICOM)'s statement on Friday.

The RPA has carried out an operation over Libya to assess the ongoing security situation and monitor violent extremist activity, the release said.
