Russia is attempting to recover the fragments of a U.S. surveillance drone that was shot down in the Black Sea on Tuesday. Nikolai Patrushev, the secretary of Russia’s Security Council, said Russia will try to get the wreckage of the American MQ-9 drone to study it. The U.S. National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said in a statement that the drone was operating in accordance with international law and its flight path was in no way a threat to Russia. Tensions between the two countries have been raised and the U.S. has called for an investigation into the incident.
