An MQ-9 Reaper crashed on Wednesday near Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan, according to the 455th Air Expeditionary Wing.
"There is no indication of injuries or damage to civilian property as a result of the crash," according to a wing news release. "The cause of the crash is currently under investigation, but enemy fire was not a factor."
Stars and Stripes first reported on Wednesday that the remotely piloted aircraft went down about 7:10 p.m., local time.
The Reaper crashed in a remote area of Afghanistan that was not close to any population centers, said Capt. Bryan Bouchard, a spokesman for the 455th Air Expeditionary Wing.
Both the aircraft and its ordinance were destroyed in the crash, so the wreckage was not recovered, Bouchard said in a Wednesday email to Air Force Times. The Reaper was assigned to the 451st Air Expeditionary Group, based at Kandahar Airfield.
