The clip first went viral on Chinese social media this week, according to Taiwanese broadcaster TVBS.
It shows two uniformed Taiwanese soldiers hurling stones at what is suspected to be a camera on a civilian-operated drone. A third soldier later emerges from the guard post with a rifle aimed at the drone's camera.
The Taiwanese troops were stationed on Kinmen, a group of islands just 2.7 miles off the Chinese coast that is under Taiwanese control. TVBS reported that civilian drones available in mainland China can fly up to nearly 10 miles.
According to the broadcaster, the video was likely shot with a zoom lens. The drone flew away after the third guard appeared, per the outlet.
