WARSAW, July 21 (Reuters) - A military reconnaissance drone that crashed in southwestern Poland late on Tuesday was being used by U.S. soldiers for a training flight, the Polish defence ministry said on Friday.
"Information obtained shows that during a training flight by U.S. soldiers, contact with the drone was lost and it then fell into a forest area," the defence ministry wrote in an emailed response to Reuters questions.
"No one was hurt, and there is no damage as a result of the incident ...
The drone was taken over by the American side, which owns the drone."
