On the morning of May 1, the Department of Culture and Sports of Ho Chi Minh City announced that Ho Chi Minh City will not display 10,500 drones (unmanned aerial vehicles) on the evening of May 1.
The official drone demonstration was changed from the evening of May 1 to the evening of April 30. However, due to interference, the demonstration of 10,500 drones had to be temporarily suspended. The Organizing Committee later announced that the cause was widespread interference, which could have caused unsafe flight conditions. To ensure safety, the organizing unit decided to stop the flight and retrieve the drones.
