2022 has seen an acceleration in drone events, from purposeful attacks to unintentional interference.
Recent examples include a February 10 incident involving a drone attack on an airport in Saudi Arabia in which civilians were injured. This was the first recorded incident where civilians were injured from shrapnel following defense methods used to intercept the drone. That is, shrapnel following an interception led to collateral damage, and rather than eliminating the danger, created a new peril, causing injury to 12 innocent civilians caught in the crossfire.
