An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) of the Indian Air Force crashed soon after take-off and fell near the boundary of an IAF airbase in Rajasthan’s Jaisalmer on Monday.

The UAV, a ‘Searcher Mark-II’ made in Israel, was on a routine training mission, officials said, confirming the crash. No one was hurt in the accident, they said.

Further investigation is under way.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
