U.S. Jet Shoots Down Turkish Drone Over Syria

WASHINGTON—A U.S. jet fighter shot down a Turkish drone on Thursday after it was deemed a threat to U.S. forces in northeast Syria, a person familiar with the episode said. The episode comes as Turkey has been mounting air attacks against Kurdish militants it blames for a bombing attack in Ankara on Sunday. There are roughly 900 U.S. troops based in Syria, who have been working with Kurdish-led fighters to battle Islamic State.
