The Sri Lanka Air Force (SLAF) has launched an investigation following the discovery of a foreign-made target drone in the seas off Trincomalee. The drone was found by a local fisherman who brought it to the shore and alerted authorities.
Upon receiving the information, police took custody of the drone and handed it over to the SLAF for further examination. Initial reports indicate that the drone is a Target Drone, typically used for military training purposes.
The SLAF has not disclosed further details regarding the origin or purpose of the drone, but it has emphasized the importance of the probe to determine any potential security implications.
Authorities have urged local residents to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities, while the investigation continues to assess the drone's link to recent activities in the region.
