Jakarta, The Indonesia Post – The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has officially announced that it has banned the general public from flying drone cameras, after it was recently reported that a drone broke through and caused an accident at an oil refinery facility and airport in Abu Dhabi.
The ban was announced directly by the UAE Ministry of Home Affairs while also announcing the ban on gliders or gliders.
The UAE Ministry of Interior said in its ban that drones had been used in places that were not allowed to be recorded and ultimately endangered the safety and security of employees in the restricted area.
Quoting The Verge, Monday, actually some time ago in Abu Dhabi there had been an attack in the form of a ballistic missile and an exploding drone.
Although it is not clearly explained the size of the drone and the model used in the attack.
The attack was claimed to have been carried out by a rebel group called the Houthis, who are indeed aggressively carrying out attacks on the UAE.
Several small drones were sent by the Houthis to Arabia but had no major impact.
However, in the last few weeks the attacks have escalated and finally there was some kind of attack that left three dead and six people injured.
With the ban, the public cannot fly drones, especially in airport and residential areas.
Drones are only allowed to operate for contract work, advertising needs, and professional shooting performed by cinematographers or journalists.
Beyond that, the government will take strict action against violators of the rules for banning drones for the public. (mhn/bbs)
