Earlier, it was reported that Alexander Lukashenko accused Ukraine of violating Belarusian airspace, claiming that Ukrainian drones allegedly entered Belarus and were destroyed by air defenses.
Subsequently, he ordered troops and equipment, including the Polonez MLRS and Iskander missile systems, to be sent to the border regions of the Homel and Mazyr areas.
