Taliban militants claim they have shot down an unmanned US reconnaissance drone in the eastern Afghan city of Jalalabad.
Taliban spokesman Zabihollah Mojahed claimed that the militants gunned down the aircraft late on Saturday.
Witnesses told Press TV that they saw the drone catching fire mid-air and crashing into a civilian house.
Earlier this week, another US drone crashed due to technical problems in eastern Ghazni Province, NATO said in a statement.
The Taliban spokesman had claimed that the militants shot down the unmanned plane.
The Taliban militants say they have shot down several aircraft and NATO choppers in different parts of Afghanistan over the past few months.
The militants have proven resilient despite the presence of around 150,000 US-led forces in Afghanistan.
Taliban have steadily stepped up their attacks on the US-led forces, inflicting heavy casualties and damage on them.

In the movie Terminator 2 it's called "Sky Net"Except instead of being run by "AI" it is run by fake/hebrews called "Ashkanazi-jews" who are really Khazars. Like 2 Long Arrow Drones, the deadly future of warfare, the all seeing eye in the sky, destroying terrorists with pinpoint accuracy, .. bla bla. All sick zionist media propaganda to sell profitable warfare against innocent civilians. The technology in guidance systems in rockets is becoming much better and cheaper, e.g. using target recognition with full spectrum detectors. A few thousand euro hobby-kit rocket can now take down a faggot drone costing millions. Progress my friends !!
