Egypt confirms drone 'crashed' in Taba, wounding six people

The Egyptian military on Friday confirmed reports that an "unmanned aerial vehicle" crashed in a building next to a hospital in Taba, a town bordering Israel in Sinai. 

"The accident resulted in minor injuries to six people who have been discharged from the hospital after receiving the necessary first aid," the military spokesperson said on Facebook.

"The incident is under investigation by a special committee from the relevant authorities," he added. 

The Israeli military said the drone came from “the Red Sea area” and that its air force attempted to intercept it.
