The smallest commercially available centerfire cartridge was the 2.7mm Kolibri round, which was too underpowered to inflict significant damage to a person other than maybe if you hit them right in the eyeball. That round weighed 5.3 grams while the OP article talks about a drone weighing 9 milligrams.
This drone just doesn't have enough payload for explosives/bullets to be useful against a person. More plausible is some sort of biological attack, like a nerve gas, although you'd be pushing the limits even there. The LD50 for sarin gas is 1 milligram, and you would need a delivery mechanism.
