SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korea's air traffic authorities will ban drones from flying around the Constitutional Court in Seoul from Thursday ahead of the ruling on the impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol.

The measure will take effect from Thursday to Wednesday next week, according to a notice to airmen issued on the transport ministry's aeronautical information system on Wednesday.
