During July, at least 9 Shahed-131/136 type attack drones flew into the territory of Belarus. The Russian Federation regularly attacks Ukraine with these drones.
Points of attention
- Most of the drones that fly into Belarus regularly return to the territory of Ukraine, but there are also cases when they disappear in the depths of the Belarusian territory.
- The new scale of the "Shakhed" event was observed in July, when no less than five kamikaze drones flew in one night in Belarus.
- The Air Force of Belarus was forced to respond to this threat by raising fighter jets to protect the country's airspace.
Russian drones continue to fly to Belarus
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.
Previous drones of the Russian Federation in Belarus
This night, from July 30 to 31, the most massive flight of "Shakheds" into the airspace of Belarus occurred during the entire monitoring period.
According to "Belarusian Gayun", in total, no less than five Shahed-type kamikaze drones flew into Belarus last night.
Because of this, the Air Force of Belarus raised a fighter from the "Baranovichi" airfield, which flew over the entire southeast of the country near the border for more than an hour.

After the event, most of the drones immediately went deep into the Polissky Radiation and Ecological Reserve and then back to Ukraine, but one of the drones flew over Belarus for more than 260 km, all the way to the city of Stolin (Brest region), writes "Belarusian Gayun".
On July 11, one of the "shaheeds" with which the Russian Federation attacked Ukraine also flew to Belarus and was in the Belarusian airspace for at least 1 hour.
At the same time, the Air Force of Belarus raised fighter jets into the air.
