Belarus raised aviation due to Russian "shahedy"
As noted, the Russian "shahedy" flew into the airspace of Belarus from the Chernihiv and Kyiv regions of Ukraine.
The first two of them took off around 00:09, and the subsequent events were around 00:30, 01:00, 03:27 and 05:55, the message says.
Later, the arrival of the "Shakheds" in Belarus was confirmed by the commander of the Ukrainian Air Force, Mykola Oleschuk, who reported that one of the attack drones crossed the border with Belarus, which, in turn, may mean that it was lost by location in Belarus.
Also, according to the information of "Belarusian Gayun", the aircraft of the Air Force of the Republic of Belarus was on duty in the sky over the south of Belarus practically all night.
"The fighter from Baranovichi, which was raised around 00:15, returned back only at 02:00 and took to the sky again at 02:45," the monitoring group reported.
