Chief Counselor hospitalized with "minor" injuries, GNP calls for crackdown on "drunk droning"

TIAN'AN, Han: The Chief Counselor of Indrala was hospitalized this morning with "minor" injuries after being struck by a small unmanned aerial vehicle, better known as a drone, being flown by man near the Chief Counselor's Residence whose blood alcohol content was 0.13, nearly twice the legal limit to drive. According to a press statement from the Chief Counselor's office Mr. Mo was taking a morning stroll with two aides through a garden at the residence when the drone, nearly silent, descended unnoticed and hit the Chief Counselor in the back of the head with its body.

The internet was immediately aflutter with memes finding humor at the Chief Counselor's expense

The office of the Chief Counselor noted that the operator of the drone was doing so in restricted airspace and that charges will be filed. The government has called for a crackdown on "drunk droning", advocating for the legal blood alcohol content limit while operating a drone to be set at 0.08, the same as the legal limit for operating an automobile.
