Zelensky claims Russia twice targeted his plane with drones; Norway PM confirms near-miss

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy claims Russian drones targeted his aircraft on two occasions, with Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store partially corroborating a near-miss incident in Moldovan airspace on September 9 en route to Oslo. Russian drones also reportedly entered Moldovan airspace during Zelenskyy's visits to Chișinău on September 9 and 14, and targeted assets linked to Zelenskyy in Kyiv and Kryvyi Rih. While direct targeting of Zelenskyy's aircraft remains largely unverified beyond the Norwegian PM's statement, the repeated airspace violations and strikes on associated targets indicate a potential escalation in efforts to target Ukrainian leadership and exert psychological pressure.
