Reference News reported on August 12According to a report on the German News TV channel website on August 11, after news broke that several Ukrainian drone fighters were shot down in Belarus, the Belarusian Ministry of Defense said it was moving tanks to the border. The department posted a video on the Telegram social platform showing tanks being loaded onto a railway transport vehicle. The Belarusian Ministry of Defense said that the troops were on combat readiness and were waiting for orders to execute.

According to reports, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko had previously ordered reinforcements to the Gomel and Mozyr regions in the southeast of the country. They were stationed there to respond to possible "provocations" from Ukraine. Ukrainian State Border Service spokesman Andriy Demchenko said on the afternoon of the 11th that it has not yet been confirmed that Belarus has sent additional troops to the Belarus-Ukraine border.

According to reports, Lukashenko said on the 10th that several Ukrainian air targets were suspected to have been shot down. The air defense forces have been put on full alert because about 10 flying objects from Ukraine have invaded the airspace of the Kostiukovichi region in eastern Belarus.

The Belarusian Ministry of Foreign Affairs called this a "dangerous attempt to expand the current conflict zone in the region". Belarus will exercise its right to self-defense and respond appropriately to any provocation or hostile action. Belarusian Defense Minister Viktor Khrenin announced on the 10th that he had ordered the deployment of "Iskander" missiles and "Polonaise" multiple rocket launchers to the region.
