A Russian drone once again flew to Belarus during the attack on Ukraine

The "Shahed" type drone once again entered the airspace of Belarus during the massive air attack of the Russian Federation on Ukraine.

Points of attention

  • Russian drones, in particular of the "Shahed" type, flew to Belarus during the massive air attack of the Russian Federation on Ukraine.
  • In July, in just 20 days, 9 drones flew into Belarus, causing various consequences, including explosions and drone crashes.
  • Most of the drones returned to the territory of Ukraine, but some went deep into Belarus.

Russian drones continue to fly to Belarus

As noted, around 8:40 a.m. one of the "Shahed" kamikaze drones entered the airspace of Belarus from the Chernihiv region of Ukraine.

According to preliminary data, the "Shakhed" continued its movement to the west along the Belarusian-Ukrainian border, the report says.

About 10 Russian drones flew to Belarus in July

As noted, nine drones flew into Belarus from July 11 to July 31. Namely:

  • one exploded and fell in Belarus;

  • seven flew to the territory of Ukraine;

  • the fate of another is unknown.

Most of them, or rather seven out of nine, according to the monitoring group, returned to the territory of Ukraine, while others flew deep into Belarus.

Thus, the drone that flew to Belarus on the night of July 13 traveled more than 350 km all the way to Vitebsk itself and after that disappeared, what happened to it next and where it is is unknown. Another "Shakhed", which was the fourth one, flew over Belarus for more than 400 km on July 16 and exploded, falling in the Zhovtnev district of the Gomel region, "Gayun" notes.
