"The drone was downed in an area located between the villages of Prdashal and Zargali," Dilsher Ibrahim, an official from Qandil area, where the incident took place, told Rudaw.
A source, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told Rudaw that the drone "was shot down by the PKK guerillas."
The incident did not cause any casualties or material damage.
"The place where the drone fell is a hill with no vegetation or livestock, so there were no casualties or material damage," Ibrahim noted. "The drone belonged to Turkey."
PKK and Turkey, who have publicly been engaged in peace talks for about a year to end their decades of war, have yet to comment.
The PKK declared a unilateral ceasefire after its founder, Abdullah Ocalan, who has been jailed since 1999, released a message in February calling on the group to end its decades-long armed struggle against the Turkish state. On July 11, a group of PKK fighters burned their weapons in Jasana Cave in Sulaimani province in a symbolic disarmament as part of the peace process. A Turkish parliamentary commission is now formulating the legal foundations for peace with the PKK.
Since PKK's symbolic disarmament ceremony, Turkish attacks in the Kurdistan Region have significantly dropped.
