Overview
- An Garda Síochána’s Special Detective Unit opened an investigation after several large drones entered a no-fly zone near Dublin as President Volodymyr Zelenskyy arrived.
- Irish media report the drones reached the point on the approach where the plane had been expected, then loitered over the naval vessel LÉ William Butler Yeats.
- Zelenskyy’s aircraft landed slightly ahead of schedule and was not endangered, according to reports citing security sources.
- Officials describe the unmanned aircraft as large, military‑type devices and say the incident is being assessed as potentially hybrid in nature, with no public attribution.
- Investigators are examining launch points near northeast Dublin or from an undetected vessel, as authorities review counter‑drone capabilities after the naval ship did not engage.
