U.S. confirmed: Four MQ-9 drones were shot down, one of which was mistakenly hit by Qatar.

CBS News reported on March 5 that U.S. officials confirmed that three U.S. MQ-9 Reaper drones were shot down.

It is currently unclear where exactly the three drones crashed, nor is it clear how they were shot down or by whom. The report said that one of the drones attempted to crash into the sea beyond the Iranian coast.

U.S. officials added that in another separate incident, a MQ-9 Reaper drone was also shot down recently, reportedly due to friendly fire from Qatar.
