A rider shot down a drone disrupting an equestrian event in northern China.

The video was filmed in Hulunbuir City in Inner Mongolia on July 9.

A drone, flying without permission, entered the event area, disrupting the competition and posing a potential threat to both spectators and participants. Despite repeated warnings from the host, the drone continued to hover over the venue until a rider shot it down with a bow and arrow.

According to witnesses, as the competition reached a high point, the drone appeared, flying low and filming the event. The drone’s buzzing noise and shadow unsettled the horses, creating further disruption.

To address the situation, the host used a loudspeaker to warn the drone operator, demanding an immediate halt to the filming and for the drone to leave the area. But the operator ignored these warnings, continuing to circle overhead.

Faced with this persistent issue, a rider drew his bow and accurately shot the drone down. Park staff quickly intervened to manage the aftermath, allowing the event to continue smoothly.

Park authorities noted that the area is a border zone where drone flights are strictly prohibited, with clear notices posted and frequent reminders given to visitors.

Police from the Hohhada Border Police Station reiterated that many border areas enforce strict no-fly zones for drones. Any recreational or survey drone activities require prior approval from public security authorities.

The police stated they would handle any unauthorized drone flights according to the law.

7月9日，内蒙古呼伦贝尔市新巴尔虎左旗，在一场马术表演中，一架无人机擅自飞入比赛区域上空，不仅干扰了比赛的进行，还对现场观众和参赛骑手构成了潜在威胁。经过主持人多次劝说无果后，一名骑手无奈之下使用弓箭将无人机击落。

据现场目击者描述，这场马术表演吸引了大量游客前来观赏，正当比赛进入高潮时，一架无人机突然闯入比赛区域上空，开始低空飞行并拍摄。无人机的嗡嗡声和阴影让现场的马匹也显得躁动不安。为了维护比赛秩序和确保安全，主持人立即通过扩音器向无人机操作者发出警告，要求其立即停止拍摄并离开现场。然而，尽管主持人多次劝说，但无人机操作者似乎并未理会，继续在空中盘旋。

面对这一紧急情况，一名骑手挺身而出。他拿起弓箭，瞄准正在空中飞行的无人机，果断地一箭将其击落。随后，景区工作人员迅速介入处理，确保比赛能够顺利进行。

景区方面表示，该区域为边境地带且禁止无人机飞行，已经张贴了相关告示并多次提醒游客遵守规定。

警方也对此事进行了回应。呼和哈达边境派出所工作人员指出，靠近国界线的许多地方都严禁无人机飞行，如需使用无人机进行娱乐或测量拍摄等活动，必须事先向公安部门报备并获得批准。对于擅自飞行无人机的行为，警方将依法进行处理。
