Drones fly into Belarus almost daily, said Andrei Lukyanovich, commander of the Air Force and Air Defense Forces.

“We have flights both on the territory of Ukraine and on the territory of the Russian Federation, in the south, in the east. Therefore, unmanned aerial vehicles sometimes deviate from the routes that run past our borders and violate airspace. Including electronic warfare systems affect the flight path,” Lukyanovich commented on STB.

He added that if an aerial target poses a threat to critically important objects, it is destroyed.

Authorities rarely comment on incidents involving drones flying into Belarusian settlements.

In February, when Russian military personnel had Starlink disconnected, more drones started flying in. In March, a sound similar to a drone was heard in Minsk.

The Air Force and Air Defense Forces of Belarus reported in March that they had shot down three drones that flew into our country from abroad.
