Not sure where this incident happened but Bushneir is a coastal city and the reactor site is very close to the shore.

I imagine the drone was on a standard recon mission off the coast listening and taking photos with its ISAR. Sending a drone is a lot cheaper than a manned ELINT aircraft, and doesn't risk the crew.
