FORT DRUM — A mil­itary drone crashed into Lake Ontario on Tuesday during a New York Air National Guard training mission. State military officials say the MQ-9 Reaper had taken off from Wheeler Sack Army Airfield at Fort Drum and was operating in approved airspace over the eastern side of the lake when it was lost at about 1 p.m. They say the aircraft was not armed. There have been no reports of injuries.

The drone is used by the Air Guard’s Syracuse­based 174th Attack Wing to train Air Force pilots who use it on surveil­lance and attack missions globally.
