AFRICOM Deputy Chief and Spokesman, Timothy Pietrack, has confirmed that the drone that crashed near Benghazi belonged to them.

The drone was in Libyan airspace to support diplomatic commitments of US ambassador Richard Norland to be made in eastern Libya, in coordination with Libyan authorities, Pietrack said in press statements.

“The incident is under investigation and we do not have any other information at the moment,” he added.
