🇺🇦🇮🇪⚡️ - Four unidentified drones violated a no-fly zone at a Dublin airport as Zelenskyy’s plane arrived on Monday night. It is understood the drones attempted to interfere with the approach of Zelenskyy’s aircraft.

After Zelenskyy’s plane arrived, the drones left the area and then began to circle an Irish Navy vessel, LÉ William Butler Yeats, secretly deployed for his visit. 

Sources claim the drones originated from the northeast of Dublin and flew for up to 2 hours, and an investigation was started to determine if the drones' origin was from land or from a ship. 

Irish forces decided not to shoot down the drones, although they lacked any effective measures to do so.
