On December 12 at around 11:10 am, a fixed-wing drone being tested by a company near the Jingzhou Olympic Sports Center in Hubei Province lost control, crashed into a structure, and caught fire.
According to witnesses, the drone collided with a tower crane before falling. Parts of its wings landed near someone's home, sparking a fire. Debris from the drone, including wheels and steel frames, was scattered across the site.
Local firefighters and other emergency departments quickly arrived at the scene and extinguished the fire. The incident resulted in one person being injured, who is currently receiving medical treatment.
The exact cause of the accident is under further investigation.

View the video. It’s obviously not as described.
Supposedly a military drone.
It’s a pretty big explosion and fire.
