A drone belonging to the NATO-led Resolute Support (RS) coalition forces crashed in Afghanistan's Parwan province, police said on Monday.

"The unmanned aerial vehicle crashed in the Barek Ab area on Sunday night near the Bagram Airfield. The drone crashed into a house but caused no damage," a police official told Xinhua news agency.

The Bagram Airfield, some 50 km north of Kabul, has been serving as the main US and NATO military base in Afghanistan over the past 17 years.
