A record number of Shahed drones entered Belarusian airspace during Russian attack on Ukraine on November 22. At the moment, ten drones have been recorded, the monitoring group Belarusian Hajun reports.
"More than 10 Shaheds flew into Belarus overnight, and the incursions are ongoing," the report states.
According to the monitoring group, the last drone crossed Belarusian airspace five minutes ago (as of 11:30 a.m., Kyiv time) from the direction of Ovruch, in the area between Lelchytsy and Yelsk.

Russian drone incursions into Belarus
Russian drones have been regularly entering Belarusian airspacу during Russian attacks on Ukraine. The first such incursions began in mid-July.
For comparison, only nine Shaheds entered Belarus in July. It is interesting that in late August, aviation was used for the first time in Belarus to shoot down a Russian Shahed drone.
Furthermore, in early October, a Russian Shahed drone exploded in Kalinkavichy, Belarus, causing a power outage in the town.
