France intercepting 6 drones daily near Olympic sites: PM

French security forces guarding sites set to be used in the Paris Olympics are intercepting an average of six drones per day, Prime Minister Gabriel Attal said.

The miniature flyers are sometimes operated by "individuals, maybe tourists wanting to take pictures", Attal said.

"That's why it's important to remind people of the rules. There's a ban on flying drones," he added during a visit to the event's drone defence hub at Velizy-Villacoublay air base outside Paris.

"Systems are in place to allow us to very quickly intercept (drones) and arrest their operators," Attal said. "We can't allow anything to slip past us."
