The drone crashed in Angoor Adda area of South Waziristan, which has witnessed several missile strikes by pilotless aircraft as well as an incursion last year by US-led coalition forces from Afghanistan.
Officials of the local administration and residents told reporters in the area that the drone, which was flying at a low altitude, was shot down by militants.
Officials said they were searching the area for the drone's wreckage.
However, military sources told TV channels that the drone could have crashed because of technical defects.
Chief military spokesman Maj Gen Athar Abbas said the reports about the drone crash were being investigated.
A drone had crashed near Angoor Adda in September last year.

Unfortunately ,It seems that talibans are applying their skills on their gurus (CIA) who trained, funded them and gave them stinger missiles during Bill clinton'd time. Shame on US wrong forign policies always. if you dig hole for some one, eventually you will fall in to that. They simply supported cruel talibans only to blindly oppose russia and India. These are the net results. POOR USA. Open your eyes atleast now. Even now, its not too late to listen and take advises from india. Do not give money to pakistan; it will only be diverted for terrorism. Do not make dirty designs against India. Neither LeT/Pakistan or your country/UK will never never be able to take away even an inch of Indian land.
