An armed unmanned aerial vehicle loaded with munitions crash-landed on Kapisuyu Beach in the Kurucasile district of Bartin province on Sunday, authorities said, prompting gendarmerie units to evacuate the area and establish a security perimeter along the stretch of coastline straddling the Bartin-Kastamonu provincial border.

Specialist ordnance disposal teams were dispatched to the scene to carry out a controlled destruction of the munitions aboard the aircraft.

The origin of the drone has not been confirmed, though local reports suggest it is believed to be one of the armed unmanned systems that fell into the Black Sea during the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine.
