Pentagon calls Turkish drone shot down in Syria by US forces a ‘regrettable incident’

The Pentagon spokesman Brigadier General Pat Ryder said a Turkish drone was shot down in Syria by the US in ‘self defence’ but there was no indication that Turkey was intentionally targeting US forces. It is the first time Washington has brought down an aircraft of NATO ally Turkey and marks a rare use of force by one NATO member against another
