A Bayraktar Akıncı drone was shot down this morning 15 km west of the Al-Ajilat region in northwestern Libya.

This drone is one of Turkey’s most advanced unmanned aerial vehicles and has recently been sold to the Libyan Government of National Accord (GNA) forces.

The cause of the drone’s downing is unknown, but smoke in the sky suggests it was hit by a missile fired by the Libyan National Army (LNA) forces led by General Haftar.

Throughout the Libyan civil war, many Bayraktar TB2 drones have been downed. However, the Akinci’s destruction marks the first recorded instance of losing this type of wide-body drone in Libya.
