Small civilian drones have been spotted in the skies over the French capital for a second night in a row, police said on Wednesday, once again flying over the US embassy and several iconic Paris landmarks, reports FRANCE 24.
At least five drones were spotted over central Paris by both witnesses and police, sources told French media.
The tiny aircraft were seen near the US embassy, the Invalides military museum, the Eiffel Tower, the French Senate and several major thoroughfares leading into and out of the French capital.
Police had already been investigating who was behind some five separate drone flights over the same areas of Paris the previous night.
France has some of the world’s most advanced legislation regulating the use of civilian drones. French prosecutors have opened an investigation into the flights, which took place over “prohibited zones”, the AFP news agency reported.
