  "description": "Four unidentified military-grade drones breached a no-fly zone in Dublin just minutes after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s plane landed. The drones targeted the exact flight path of Zelensky's aircraft and then circled an Irish Navy vessel deployed to provide security for the visit. Gardaí are investigating whether the drones originated from land or an undetected ship offshore. This incident is probed as a potential hybrid attack, aligning with a pattern of similar drone intrusions reported across Europe in recent years during sensitive diplomatic events.",
