Shortly after the plane carrying Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky landed in Dublin on Monday, four large, unidentified military-style drones entered the no-fly zone and began circling over Dublin International Airport, according to The Telegraph.
Sources say the drones would have been directly in Zelensky’s flightpath had his aircraft not taken off and arrived ahead of schedule. Officials in Ireland and across Europe are describing the incident as an “act of hybrid warfare” and possibly an assassination attempt on the Ukrainian president.
After circling the airport briefly, the drones headed east, flying over an Irish Navy warship that had been covertly deployed to the Irish Sea in advance of Zelensky’s visit.
