Based on reporting by South China Morning Post:
The Civil Aviation Department of Hong Kong is currently investigating an alleged illegal drone flight that occurred over Victoria Harbour during the recent National Day fireworks display, subsequent to privately captured footage of the event becoming widely shared online.
The clips of the 23-minute fireworks show gained attention from local internet users after a visitor from mainland China, who was in Hong Kong during the "golden week" holiday, uploaded the footage to his social media account over the weekend.
This individual, who identifies himself as a professional from Yunnan province and uses the username Su Fan on RedNote, a platform frequently used by mainland Chinese users, stated that he did not require authorization from the authorities to film the fireworks display using a drone within a designated no-fly zone.
