The Sixth Infantry Division confirmed that the drone actually belonged to the militia itself, which had mistakenly shot it down and attempted to use the footage to suggest it was a SAF drone. However, they failed to document the drone's country of manufacture or the origin of its missiles.

The Sixth Division emphasized that the Armed Forces maintain precise records of all weapons, vehicles, and drones in their possession, as well as documents concerning foreign mercenaries killed in the battles of Al-Fashir -- evidence proving conclusively that the drone did not belong to the Armed Forces.

The 6th Infantry Division affirmed that the situation in Al-Fashir remains under full control and that its forces are standing firm, working side by side for the defense of Al-Fashir - the Lion's Mustach.
