Drone almost hits Zelenskyy’s plane during flight to Oslo, Norwegian PM says

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s plane is reported to have been nearly hit by a drone while travelling to Oslo, Norway. Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre says the incident occurred as the aircraft took off from Moldova.

According to multiple outlets, Zelenskyy is flying to Oslo to attend the funeral of Norway’s King Harald V. Several reports add that Støre discusses the event in an interview or remarks carried by Norwegian media, including the public broadcaster NRK. Other coverage characterizes the incident as a close call, but the central details remain consistent: the drone nearly struck the plane during departure from Moldova and the trip is linked to the king’s funeral.

Overall, outlets agree on the timing and location of the reported incident (takeoff from Moldova) and on the purpose of the travel (Oslo for King Harald V’s funeral). Differences mainly involve wording and emphasis, such as describing the event as “almost hit” versus using more dramatic language, but they do not introduce conflicting facts about what Støre said.
