Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had a scary moment while traveling to Norway. Reports from several news outlets say a drone nearly hit the plane he was flying in.

The Prime Minister of Norway spoke about the incident, confirming that the plane was at risk during the flight. While officials from different countries have weighed in, they all agree that the situation was very dangerous.

There is some back-and-forth about exactly where and when this happened. For example, officials in Moldova mentioned that a drone alert had already caused a delay for the president before he left. However, the main point being reported by major news agencies like CNN, Al Jazeera, and the Financial Times is clear: the aircraft carrying the president was dangerously close to a drone strike.

Zelenskyy has been traveling frequently to meet with world leaders as he asks for support for Ukraine. Flying into a war zone—or even near one—is always risky, but this specific incident has caught a lot of attention because it put a world leader in direct danger.

No one was hurt, and the president arrived safely for his scheduled meetings. Officials are continuing to look into exactly what happened and why a drone was flying in that area.
