A drone malfunctioned and collided with a United States Navy ship, injuring two sailors testing combat weapons off the coast of Southern California.

The USS Chancellorsville was using the drone to test its radar tracking for a guided missile when a glitch caused it to crash, CNN reports. The two sailors were treated for minor burns and the damaged cruiser will return to San Diego for repair.
