WHAT HAPPENED
Beijing will ban possession and storage of drones from November 15 following a crash at Citic Tower. The new restriction significantly expands the earlier reported control from tighter regulation to a broad citywide prohibition.
SO WHAT?
The ban will sharply restrict civilian drone use in Beijing and signals heightened security concerns after an urban drone incident.
