Turkish military says it shot down aircraft on Syrian border

Turkey’s military said it shot down an aircraft on the Syrian border today, without specifying what type, after it didn’t respond to three warnings.

The nationality of the aircraft was unknown, the statement said. It had violated Turkish airspace before it was warned and then shot down, according to the statement.

NTV television reported that the aircraft was an unmanned drone, without saying how it got the information.

The lira extended losses after the announcement, trading as much as 1.1 percent weaker at 2.9106 per dollar.
