More, with photos, on yesterday’s story.
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News]
  • A joint report from Homeland Security and the FBI revealed a DJI Mavic 2 drone was recovered in June 2020, with a line of copper wire tethered to it

  • Its camera and internal memory card were removed, as were identifying labels

  • If the wire touched the plant's high-voltage equipment, a short circuit, power failure or fire could have happened

  • From 2015 to 2019, 24 US nuclear reactors and fuel storage sites suffered nearly 60 drone incursions

  • Most of the incidents have been marked 'unresolved' but closed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission
