Faroe Islands
Authorities in a village have recently pursued two foreign tourists for operating a drone in a restricted area. The use of drones is prohibited in populated regions and, notably, the village in question falls within a five-kilometer radius of the local airport.
Upon police arrival, the tourists promptly grounded their drone. Fortunately for them, they were not issued any fines, nor was their drone confiscated.
According to local law enforcement, incidents of drone flights in such areas are common during the summer months. The primary intention behind these flights often revolves around photography.
