Personnel from the Vital Installations Security Department detained two Filipinos for flying a drone without a license over secure facilities in Al-Zour.
Following their interrogation by security staff they have been referred to the competent authorities for further action. The incident came to light when the Acting Director-General of the department Col Sa’fak Al-Azmi using monitoring devices in the presence of Assistant Director of the Department Colonel Musaed Shamroukh working at the Al-Zour Station saw a drone hovering over Al-Zour Power Station. They soon identified its source and arrested the two Filipinos.
