Drones are becoming more common, but if you spot one hovering over your home or near sensitive infrastructure, the only right thing to do is call the police.
While it may feel intrusive, it is illegal for private individuals to shoot down or destroy a drone, no matter how frustrating its presence may be.
Spike in Suspicious Drone Activity Worries Authorities
Reports of unknown drones flying over private properties, ports, airports, and energy facilities have sharply increased, raising concerns among authorities.
Some of these drones could be used for illegal surveillance or potential security threats, according to TV2 Kosmopol.
Authorities are therefore urging the public to report suspicious drones immediately to help prevent disruptions and protect public safety.
