Turkey has dispatched a surveillance and reconnaissance drone to the breakaway north of ethnically divided island nation of Cyprus amid tensions over offshore oil and gas exploration, Turkey’s state-run media said Monday.

Turkey doesn’t recognize Cyprus as a state and asserts that 44 percent of the island nation’s exclusive economic zone as its own.
