Military Lasers Down US Agency Drone In Friendly Fire Incident
A U.S. military laser mistakenly shot down a Customs and Border Protection drone near the U.S.-Mexico border, prompting additional airspace closures. This incident follows a similar event two weeks prior where CBP used an anti-drone laser without coordinating with the FAA. Lawmakers criticized the administration’s alleged incompetence and failure to improve inter-agency communication regarding drone threats, leading to calls for an investigation into the growing drone dangers.
