> Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre said a drone nearly struck the plane carrying Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as it prepared to leave Moldova for a royal funeral. Moldovan officials said two Russian drones were involved; the airspace closure delayed the flight, with one drone crashing in Moldova and another entering Romanian airspace.
