Drone likely flying from Ukraine war zone crashes in Croatia

A drone that apparently flew undetected over several NATO countries all the way from the Ukrainian war zone crashed overnight on the outskirts of the Croatian capital, Zagreb, triggering a loud blast but causing no injuries.
A NATO official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the alliance's "integrated air and missile defence tracked the flight path of an object which subsequently crashed in Zagreb."
Earlier, Croatian President Zoran Milanovic had expressed concern at how "how a relatively unsophisticated drone flew for over an hour over NATO countries without being detected."
Milanovic said "it is clear" it came from Ukraine. A statement issued by Croatia's government said the "pilotless military aircraft" entered Croatian airspace from neighboring Hungary at a speed of 700 kph and an altitude of 1,300 metres.
"According to information I have so far, this flying object was Russian-manufactured, we are not sure whether it belongs to the Russian or Ukrainian army," Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic said. "(It) arrived in Croatia from the direction of Hungary, and according to (Hungarian) Prime Minister Orban, it arrived to Hungary from the direction of Romania."
