At about 1 pm on February 26, a patrol unit from the An Hai ward Military Command detected the man operating a drone near Ong Temple at the junction of Vo Van Kiet and Vo Nguyen Giap streets. He had not obtained approval from the relevant authorities.
The individual, identified as Oleksandr Patlan, 35, a German national visiting the city, was issued a violation record and had his drone temporarily confiscated. The case has been reported to the municipal Military Command for further investigation and handling in accordance with regulations.
The incident comes as the Danang Military Command steps up round-the-clock patrols across the city to monitor illegal drone and other aerial device operations.
Earlier, on February 24, local forces also handled a resident who flew a drone into a restricted area along Nguyen Tat Thanh beach in Hoa Khanh Ward.
