Ireland's military chose not to shoot down five drones near Dublin Bay during Zelenskiy’s visit, citing safety and rules of engagement.
Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin affirmed the Defence Forces' decision not to shoot down five unidentified drones near Dublin Bay during Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s 2025 visit, calling it the correct operational choice.
The drones came within 500 meters of the naval vessel LÉ William Butler Yeats but posed no threat to civilians, according to officials, who cited rules of engagement and civilian air traffic as reasons for restraint.
Martin, speaking from Lebanon, expressed full confidence in the military’s judgment and noted the incident reflects a broader pattern of drone activity across Europe.
An investigation by An Garda Síochána is ongoing, with no conclusions or actions pending its completion.
