BHUBANESWAR: An Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Lakshya of the Indian Air Force crash landed in Odisha's Balasore district on Friday.

The UAV crash landed in an agricultural field at Chandamuhi village in Baliapal block.

"There may be some technical reason behind the accident. A team of Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) rushed to the spot after the incident. There was no loss of life and property," said Balasore Superintendent of Police (SP) Niti Shekhar.
