Turkey’s General Staff announced on Friday that Turkish Air Force jets had shot down an unidentified drone in the country’s air space near the border with Syria.
The unmanned aircraft could have belonged to Syrian government forces, which receive weapons and military equipment from Russia, or the Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD, or “other elements”, Davutoglu said.
