Het vliegtuig van de Oekraïense president Volodymyr Zelensky is dinsdag vlak na het opstijgen in Moldavië bijna geraakt door een drone. Dat meldt de Noorse premier Jonas Gahr Støre, die Zelensky na de reis ontving in Oslo.

Moldavië grenst aan Oekraïne en het luchtruim van Moldavië wordt daarom ook regelmatig geschonden door drones uit de oorlog tussen Oekraïne en Rusland. Het is niet bekend wat voor drone het was of waar de drone vandaan kwam die in de buurt van Zelensky's vliegtuig vloog.
