Zelenskyy's Plane Nearly Hit by Drone During Moldova Takeoff, Norway PM Says
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's plane was nearly hit by a drone while taking off from Moldova en route to Oslo for King Harald V's funeral, Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre said. The incident delayed the flight due to Moldova temporarily closing its airspace following Russian drone incursions. Zelenskyy safely arrived in Oslo, where he met Norwegian officials to discuss military aid and European air defense. Ukrainian authorities described the risk as exaggerated, while Moldovan officials confirmed the drone threat and ongoing investigations.
