Mexican military forces intercepted and brought down a drone that flew near the South Korea team's training camp ahead of its World Cup match against Mexico, a federal official told the Associated Press.
Drone neutralised near South Korean camp
Military forces used specialised equipment to detect an “unregistered drone” near the South Korean camp, prompting them to “neutralise” it, the Mexican federal agent said.
The incident occurred just days before the two teams are set to face off in the World Cup. The drone was described as “unfortunate” by military officials, who emphasised the importance of security around the training facilities.
