Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre says a drone nearly struck a plane carrying Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy while it was en route to Oslo. Støre says the aircraft was able to depart after the drone came down on Moldovan territory.

Multiple outlets report the incident occurred as the jet took off from Moldova on Tuesday. They also say Zelenskyy is traveling to Norway for the funeral of King Harald V, with his arrival in Oslo on Tuesday evening followed by meetings with Norwegian officials. Sources differ mainly in wording and emphasis: some describe the event as an “almost hit” close call, while others frame it as a near miss or “horror attack,” but they all attribute the account to Støre and place the drone impact in Moldova.

In addition, NDTV reports that Zelenskyy meets Norwegian leadership in Oslo, including discussion of military support—such as air-defence assistance—and civilian aid. The reports do not provide further technical details about the drone beyond the claimed location where it came down.
