WARSAW, Poland (AP) — A U.S. military drone has crashed in the woods in southwestern Poland after contact was lost during training, Poland's Defense Ministry said Friday.
The ministry said that no one was hurt and there was no damage from the incident on Thursday afternoon.
Polish media reported that an eyewitness saw an object crashing in the woods near the village of Trzebien and notified the fire brigade. The military were already there when the firefighters arrived, Piotr Pilarczyk, spokesman for the national fire command told Polish state news agency PAP.
Pilarczyk said there were no explosions when the object, which had a wing span of about 8 meters (26 feet), crashed.
