Chinese drone maker DJI says it is temporarily suspending all sales in Russia and Ukraine to make sure that its devices are not being used in combat or for military purposes.
DJI in a statement Tuesday said that it was pausing sales “in light of current hostilities.”
The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment from NBC News, but told the news agency Reuters that it was suspending sales "to help ensure no-one uses our drones in combat.”
It was not clear if DJI had any information that its drones have been used for military purposes.
The drone maker has said that it abhors any attempt to use its drones to cause harm, that it does not market or sell them for military use and does not allow its business partners to do so.
DJI, headquartered in Shenzhen, is the biggest maker of consumer and commercial drones in the world, NBC News reports.
