BEIJING - China has deployed unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) to Xinjiang to support local security forces. Xinjiang has seen three days of violence that have left nearly 100 people dead.
The UAVs are performing reconnaissance and surveillance missions. Unmanned aircraft are seeing growing use across China. The UAVs have supported relief operations after earthquakes, as well as helping to locate an emu that escaped from a national park.
Xinjiang has seen growing ethnic and religious tensions in recent years between Uighurs and the Han, China's dominant ethnic group. The violence has killed hundreds, perhaps thousands of people.
