The Norwegian prime minister, Jonas Gahr Støre, revealed that the plane of the president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, was "almost hit" by a drone during his trip to Oslo. The information was shared publicly by the Norwegian leader.
President Zelensky traveled between Moldova and the Norwegian capital to attend the funeral of King Harald V, who died last month. The trip involved a stop in Moldova before continuing to Oslo.
Støre acknowledged that the situation was extremely concerning and that enhanced security measures were taken for President Zelensky's visit to Norway. The incident highlights the risks associated with the Ukrainian leader's international travel in a context of conflict.
The Norwegian authorities did not provide further details about the exact circumstances of the near accident with the drone, nor about its origin.
