The government of canton St Gallen has issued an absolute flight ban around the Kybunpark for the match days, the St Gallen city police announced on Saturday. As a result, the St Gallen city police monitored the airspace.
At 9:15pm, members of the police noticed the drone. A patrol then succeeded in locating the drone pilot. The man had flown his drone within the no-fly zone without informing himself of the rules in advance, the police wrote.
