Record drone incursion in Belarus signals rising tension
In the past 24 hours, 38 Russian Shahed kamikaze drones entered the territory of Belarus, setting an absolute daily record, reported the monitoring group Belarusian Hajun on Monday. Belarusian aviation was scrambled four times, and at least one drone was shot down.
The Belarusian Hajun group reported on its Telegram channel that on November 24 and 25, a record number of Russian drones entered Belarus from Ukraine.
"In the past 24 hours, on November 24-25, at least 38 Russian Shahed kamikaze drones flew into Belarus from Ukraine, which is an absolute daily record in the history of monitoring," the group stated.
According to the report, at least one Shahed drone reached the city of Mazyr in the southeast of Belarus. Drones also entered the Homel region near the Nova Huta border crossing three times.
Belarusian Hajun provided the exact times of the drones' entry into the country. They also noted that in the past 24 hours, the Belarusian armed forces scrambled fighter jets four times in the southeastern direction.
"In the past 24 hours, Belarus' standby aviation was scrambled and flew to the southeast of the country four times," the monitoring group informed.
This information may indicate an intensification of military activities in the region and growing Russian drone activity near the Belarusian-Ukrainian border. The Belarusian Hajun group calls for tracking further announcements on this matter.
