War: Ukraine military drone crashes near Croatian capital, Zagreb
A drone believed to have flown from the Ukrainian war zone has crashed on the outskirts of the Croatian capital, Zagreb.
The crash triggered a loud blast but caused no injuries, according to Croatian authorities.
A statement issued on Friday after Croatia’s National Security Council meeting said the “pilotless military aircraft” entered Croatian airspace overnight from neighbouring Hungary at a speed of 700 kilometres per hour (430mph) and an altitude of 1,300 metres (4,300 feet).
The council said that an official criminal investigation will be launched and that NATO will be informed about the incident.
The crash means that the large drone flew at least 560km (350 miles) apparently undetected by air defences in Croatia and Hungary, both members of the Western military alliance.
Military experts of The War Zone online magazine said that the aircraft is likely a Soviet-era Tu-141 Strizh reconnaissance drone that must have severely malfunctioned and crossed over the entirety of Hungary and into Croatia from Ukraine.
