VTV.vn - Changi Airport was forced to close one runway for short periods of time between 11pm on Jun 18 and 9am on Jun 19, because of drone sightings in the vicinity of the airport.

Thirty-seven scheduled departure and arrival flights were delayed, while one arrival flight was diverted to Kuala Lumpur. Investigations are ongoing. In Singapore, drones are prohibited from flying within 5km of an airport without a permit. Offenders could face a jail term of up to 12 months and a fine of up to S$20,000.
