Tensions rise as US and Russia clash over drone interception.
TL;DR Summary
The Pentagon released a video showing a Russian fighter jet clipping the propeller of a US spy drone and causing it to crash into the Black Sea near Crimea, despite Russia's denial. The video showed two Russian Su-27 fighter jets releasing jet fuel on the drone in harassing behavior. Russia has denied any collision took place and said the drone went down after making "sharp maneuvers", having "provocatively" flown close to Russian airspace. Investigations by an international panel said some of Russia's actions since invading Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022, may be crimes against humanity.
