A drone nearly struck a plane carrying Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy from Moldova to Oslo, according to Norway's prime minister. However, a Ukrainian source said the threat may have been overstated.

Norway's prime minister said a drone almost hit Volodymyr Zelenskyy's plane as it took off from Moldova on Tuesday. The episode surfaced as Moldova reported Russian drone incursions near Chisinau Airport.

Zelensky arrived in Oslo on Tuesday evening, when he held talks with Store, Finance Minister Jens Stoltenberg and Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide on Norwegian military aid, including air-defence support, and civilian assistance.
