“Iranian reports that the aircraft was over Iran are false,” said Navy Captain Bill Urban, a spokesman for the U.S. military’s Central Command.
“This was an unprovoked attack on a U.S. surveillance asset in international airspace.”
He said the shoot-down took place in international airspace over the Strait of Hormuz at approximately 11:35 p.m. GMT on June 19, 2019. (Reporting by Phil Stewart and Doina Chiacu) DM
