Two Chinese nationals were arrested in Oslo for flying drones in a restricted zone, R102, which includes key government sites like the Royal Palace and Parliament.
The police confiscated the drones and launched an investigation.
The suspects, who only speak Chinese, are awaiting interrogation with the help of interpreters.
Authorities emphasize the strict no-fly rules in the area, which are often violated by tourists.
Violators risk fines, confiscation of equipment, and even deportation from Norway and the Schengen zone.
This incident highlights ongoing challenges in enforcing drone regulations in sensitive areas.
