The U.S. military mistakenly shot down a Customs and Border Protection drone near the U.S.-Mexico border on Thursday, using a laser meant for a “seemingly threatening” target.

The incident prompted the FAA to temporarily close airspace around Fort Hancock, Texas, about 50 miles southeast of El Paso, though commercial flights were not affected.

This marked the second laser use in the area in two weeks, following a previous incident near Fort Bliss that also triggered FAA airspace restrictions.

Lawmakers, including Rep. Rick Larsen, criticized the Trump administration for failing to implement a bipartisan bill to improve training and communication between the Pentagon, FAA, and DHS, the AP has reported.

They called the mistake a result of “incompetence” and highlighted the need for better coordination in counter-drone operations.
