August 4, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> \u201cAlmost 100 Russian drones flew into Belarus in July. Twenty-six in a single night. One crashed in Minsk,\u201d said \u015aviat\u0142ana Cichano\u016dskaja, the Belarusian opposition leader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c[Alaksandar] \u0141uka\u0161enka\u2019s regime is endangering our people and contributing to Russia\u2019s war [against Ukraine],\u201d the politician said on X. \u201cWe didn\u2019t choose this. We want peace, sovereignty and freedom. Europe\u2019s security depends on a free Belarus.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The drone incursions Cichano\u016dskaja mentioned had occurred at the end of last month. Russia launched more than 300 drones and eight missiles toward Ukraine in the night of July 30\u201331, Flagshtok <\/em>reported, citing the Ukrainian monitoring project Rynda Monitoryt. Since the evening of July 30, at least 26 incursions into Belarus have been recorded. In July, various sources reported at least 96 incidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Judging by publicly available information, Belarusian troops shoot some drones, but not every drone that enters the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The drone that crashed in Minsk in the early hours of July 29 was carrying 59 kilograms of explosives and steel balls, Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka admitted at a joint news conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin on the Russian island of Valaam on August 1.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is good that it did not explode, but it did strike a ten-story building where ordinary people lived,\u201d the Belarusian ruler said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a discrepancy between \u0141uka\u0161enka\u2019s account and the Belarusian defense ministry\u2019s earlier claim that the drone was downed by electronic warfare units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
