Quote: „According to the monitoring group Belaruski Hajun, no drones (UAVs) were detected during flights of the Belarusian Armed Forces on 9 August 2024.
No missiles were launched from a SU-30 fighter jet or MI-24 helicopter.
It follows that the latest loud statements by the self-proclaimed [president] Lukashenko are just nonsense.“
Background:
On the morning of 10 August, self-proclaimed Belarusian president Alexander Lukashenko claimed that „several targets“ from Ukraine were shot down over Belarus.
He said that there were suspicions that these were attack drones.
After that, Lukashenko ordered a reinforcement of the grouping of forces in the Gomel and Mazyr tactical areas bordering Ukraine’s Kyiv and Chernihiv oblast.
The Belarusian Ministry of Foreign Affairs told Charge d’Affaires of Ukraine Olha Tymush that Belarus may reconsider the desirability of further presence of the Ukrainian diplomatic mission in Minsk.
The Ministry of Defence of Belarus released a photo of military equipment being sent to the border with Ukraine.
