Airspace in an area of Texas was restricted on Thursday after the U.S. military accidentally shot down a Customs and Border Protection drone.
The military used a laser-based anti-dronesystem to shoot down the drone, according to the shocked lawmakers. The incident, which marks the second laser-related incident in weeks, prompted the Federal Aviation Administration to expand airspace restrictions near Fort Hancock.
A joint statement from the Pentagon, Federal Aviation Administration, and Customs and Border Protection to the Daily Beast said the military deployed a “counter-unmanned aircraft system” to “mitigate a seemingly threatening unmanned aerial system operating within military airspace.”
