An American drone has crashed in Somalia, a US official said, after Shebab militants claimed to have recovered the wreckage.

"I can confirm an RPA (remotely piloted aircraft) crashed in a remote area of the Somali coastline south of Mogadishu," said the defense official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

"The incident is under investigation," the official told AFP. Officials declined to comment on what type of unmanned aircraft had crashed, whether it was armed and why it had gone down.
