A plane carrying Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was nearly hit by a drone, according to Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre.

Støre told the public broadcaster NRK on Tuesday that Zelenskyy’s plane was nearly hit upon takeoff from Moldova.

Zelenskyy was travelling to Norway for the funeral of King Harald V and joined other dignitaries without incident.

Moldovan police said a Russian drone crashed on Tuesday in a sunflower field on the outskirts of a village in Riscani district, which caused four fires to break out but no injuries.

Moldova’s police said explosives experts discovered fragments of the drone that featured a propulsion system and characteristics similar to a Geran-type drone, which Moscow has used extensively in its full-scale war in Ukraine.

“Investigations identified the point of impact, where an explosion occurred and a crater of considerable size was formed,” police said, adding that specialists are continuing investigations “to determine the type and mass of the explosive payload.”
