Zelenskyy Reports Russian Drone Incursions in Moldovan Airspace During His Transit
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy revealed that Russian drones entered Moldovan airspace twice while his presidential aircraft was in transit through Chisinau airport. The first incident on September 9 delayed his flight to Norway after Moldova closed its airspace due to drone activity, with one drone crashing north of the capital and another entering Romanian airspace. A second drone incursion occurred on September 14, lasting about 10 minutes each time. Zelenskyy suggested the drone activity may have been linked to his presence but did not confirm direct targeting.
