Security forces promptly arrived at the scene and inspected the drone, revealing it was part of a graduation project by three engineering students conducting a practical test under direct academic supervision. Authorities confirmed the students had the necessary permits and official approvals from the faculty, and that the drone posed no security threat.
The relevant authorities took custody of the drone pending technical inspection and legal procedures, while university officials were notified to coordinate the continuation of the project in accordance with approved regulations.
Sources from within the faculty stated that the project aims to develop technological solutions using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), simulating real-world applications in smart tracking, surveillance, and parcel delivery.
The incident sparked broad discussion on social media, particularly as similar tech-based student projects continue to emerge across universities. Many called for supporting innovation while maintaining the necessary regulatory and security frameworks for such technologies.
