The Department of War is the White House&#8217;s preferred term for the Defense Department. &#8220;The engagement took place far away from populated areas and there were no commercial aircraft in the vicinity.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In a previous statement provided to CBS News Thursday night, the FAA indicated that an incident had prompted it to expand a temporary flight restriction that was already in place around Fort Hancock.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A temporary flight restriction (TFR) was already in place around the Fort Hancock area,&#8221; the FAA said. &#8220;The TFR has been expanded to include a greater radius to ensure safety.&#8221; The TFR was issued for &#8220;Special Security Reasons,&#8221; the FAA said.<\/p>\n<p>The FAA said the flight restriction was not impacting commercial flights.<\/p>\n<p>Democratic Reps. Rick Larsen, Andr\u00e9 Carson and Bennie Thompson, all members of the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, said in a joint statement that their &#8220;heads are exploding over the news that DoD reportedly shot down a Customs and Border Protection drone using a high risk counter-unmanned aircraft system.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This marks the second time this month that the U.S. military&#8217;s use of drones near the southern border in Texas has prompted airspace flight restrictions.<\/p>\n<p>On Feb. 11,\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/airspace-closure-followed-spat-over-drone-related-tests-and-party-balloon-shoot-down-sources-say\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">the FAA sparked chaos<\/a><\/span> when it briefly closed airspace around El Paso over a safety disagreement between the FAA and the Pentagon regarding military drone tests near Fort Bliss, which is adjacent to the El Paso International Airport and located about 50 miles northwest of Fort Hancock.
