An MQ-9 Reaper performed an emergency landing Monday evening near Holloman Air Force Base, the New Mexico base announced.

No injuries were reported and no private property was damaged during the emergency landing of the unmanned aerial vehicle, which happened at the end of a training mission at about 9:45 p.m., according to a base news release. A Holloman spokesperson couldn’t be reached immediately Tuesday to disclose the amount of damage, if any, the Reaper sustained.

The Reaper belonged to Holloman’s 29th Attack Squadron, a UAV flying training unit. The Air Force is investigating the cause of the accident.
