On Friday, Russia shot down a US Navy unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) over the Mediterranean Sea. The drone was reportedly operating in international airspace but the Russian Foreign Ministry claims the drone was in their airspace.
The US has disputed this claim, saying the drone was conducting a routine surveillance mission in international airspace. The US has also stated that the drone was unarmed and was not collecting any intelligence.
In response to the incident, the US is reportedly considering imposing economic sanctions on Russia.
The US and Russia have conflicting views on the incident, with the US saying that the drone was in international airspace and Russia saying it was in their airspace. Both countries have accused the other of escalating tensions.
The incident has drawn widespread condemnation from the international community, with some calling it an act of aggression and an escalation of tensions between the two countries.
