:: The Royal Jordanian Air Force has downed an F16 drone north of the kingdom Wednesday evening near Syria.

Investigation is currently undergoing to know from where the drone came from, Al Arabiya News Channel’s correspondent reported.

Jordan’s air force has shot down an unidentified drone near the border with war-torn Syria, the military said on Wednesday.

“F-16 fighter jets from the royal air force downed a drone near the northern border with Syria,” an air force official said, reading from a statement.

Air force staff were gathering the debris of the aircraft in the northern province of Mafraq to analyze them, he said.

The kingdom shares a desert border of more than 370 kilometers (230 miles) with Syria, where a six-year war has killed more than 320,000 people and displaced millions.

The UN refugee agency says it has registered more than 650,000 Syrian refugees in Jordan since the war broke out in 2011. Amman says it hosts 1.3 million Syrian refugees.

Jordan shot down an identified a drone in Mafraq in 2014.

The kingdom is part of the US-led coalition fighting the Daesh jihadist group in Syria and Iraq.
