Civilian Drone Strike (Banksy)

Civilian Drone Strike is a 2017 art work by Banksy. The work depicts three drones flying above a child's drawing of a bombed house with a child and pet looking on at the destruction. The piece was donated to the Art the Arms Fair gallery and was exhibited to coincide with the 2017 DSEI arms fair[1][2]. The work sold for £205,000[3]. Proceeds from the sale have been donated to Campaign Against Arms Trade and Reprieve.[4]
