Taipei, Feb. 18 (CNA) A locally developed unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) crashed at a forest park in eastern Taiwan on Thursday evening. No one was reportedly hurt in the incident.
The UAV destroyed several trees in the park and broke into pieces.
Local firemen rushed to the area after receiving calls from eyewitnesses, but the UAV did not catch fire. About 90 minutes later, the National Chung-Shan Institute of Science and Technology (NCSIST) issued a statement that said the UAV was the Teng Yun drone it had made.

A photo taken by a military enthusiast shows three indigenous Teng Yun drones in three separate hangars at the airbase, CNA reported. The drones, which entered the extensive testing phase in early October of last year, are being developed by the National Chung-Shan Institute of Science and Technology (NCSIST). The medium-altitude Teng Yun drone is capable of real-time imaging and can conduct both daytime and nighttime surveillance and reconnaissance missions. The Taiwanese UAVs can also be outfitted with missiles for combat missions. It is expected to enter into production by 2024.
