U.S. authorities announced temporary restrictions on drone flights over critical infrastructure in New Jersey, following concerns over unidentified drones spotted since late November. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued 22 flight prohibitions effective until January 17, aimed at ensuring safety based on requests from federal partners. While no immediate threat to public safety has been identified, recent sightings have raised fears of potential foreign interference. Authorities clarify that most observations likely involve legitimate commercial drones and law enforcement aircraft.
