香港航空当局正在调查上周国庆烟花表演期间疑似有无人机非法飞越维多利亚港一事，此前一段私人拍摄的表演视频在网上疯传。
Hong Kong aviation authorities are investigating suspected illegal drone flying over Victoria Harbour during last week’s National Day fireworks display, after privately shot footage of the show went viral online.
一名来自内地、在“黄金周”假期期间来港的游客在社交媒体上发布了这段长达23分钟的表演片段，引起了当地网民的关注。
The footage drew the attention of local internet users after a mainland visitor, who came to Hong Kong during the “golden week” holiday, posted clips of the 23-minute display on his social media account over the weekend.
这位在小红书（RedNote）上自称“苏凡”的用户，介绍自己是来自云南省的专业人士。
The man, who calls himself Su Fan on RedNote, a popular platform among mainland Chinese users, described himself as a professional from Yunnan province.
当有用户询问他是否已获得当局许可在禁飞区使用无人机拍摄时，他回复称：“没必要麻烦。”随后，他的账号遭到大量批评。
When some users asked whether he had permission from the authorities to film the show with a drone in a no-drone zone, he replied: “No need to bother”. Criticism has since flooded his account.
据信这些片段已被删除，截至周一下午，其账号上已无法找到相关内容。一些用户还指责当局执法不力。
The clips are believed to have been taken down and could no longer be found on his account by Monday afternoon. Some users also accused the authorities of lax law enforcement.
针对《南华早报》的询问，民航处周一发表声明称，正按照既定程序跟进此案。
In response to a South China Morning Post inquiry, the Civil Aviation Department said in a statement on Monday that it was following up on the case in accordance with established procedures.
声明指出：“超出运行要求及/或在限制飞行区内运行的操作属于高级操作，需事先获得民航处及/或相关当局的许可。”
“Operations exceeding the operating requirements and/or operations within Restricted Flying Zones are advanced operations and require prior permission from the Civil Aviation Department and/or the relevant authorities,” it said.
违法者一经定罪，将面临最高10万港元（约12,742美元）的罚款及最高两年的监禁。
Offenders face a fine of up to HK$100,000 (US$12,742) and up to two years’ imprisonment upon conviction.

In 2025, police also caught a mainland visitor operating a drone without permission in a restricted zone at Edinburgh Place in Central during the National Day fireworks display.
