Four large drones reportedly attempted to target Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s aircraft as it was departing from Dublin Airport, according to The Journal. The incident occurred near the airport, where the drones were seen heading toward the area where Zelensky’s plane was located.
Details surrounding the incident remain limited, including whether the drones successfully reached close to the aircraft or posed an immediate threat. Dublin Airport authorities and local security agencies are investigating the situation to determine the origin of the drones and assess the potential security implications.
Zelensky was en route from Ireland after a visit to the country, and there have been no reports of injuries or damage resulting from the drone activity. Authorities have increased security measures in the airport vicinity and are working to identify those responsible for the attempted interception.
The incident underscores ongoing concerns about drone security and the potential use of unmanned aircraft for hostile purposes, particularly involving high-profile individuals. Further updates are expected as investigations continue.
