The US State Department intends to hold contacts with Russia over the MQ-9 drone that fell into the sea

This was announced by the coordinator for strategic communications at the White House National Security Council, John Kirby.

“The State Department intends to contact Russian officials and directly state our concern about this incident,” TASS quoted him as saying.

On March 14, the US European Command announced that a Russian Su-27 hit the propeller of an American MQ-9 drone over the Black Sea, after which the drone fell into international waters.
