Belarus: The risk of terrorist sabotage is growing

According to a report on the Russian Satellite News Agency website on August 13, an official of the Belarusian State Border Guard Committee said that the situation on the border between Belarus and Ukraine is "completely controllable", but the Belarusian border guards have strengthened their duty.

According to reports, Belarusian President Lukashenko had previously stated that on the evening of August 9, several Ukrainian attack drones were shot down over Belarus, and another number of drones were shot down by Russian air defense forces over Russia.

According to reports, the official of the Belarusian State Border Committee said in a live webcast: "At present, the situation in the Ukrainian direction is completely controllable. But the border guards continue to strengthen their duty."

He noted that all this is because Minsk sees an increasing risk of "terrorist and sabotage activities" shifting to Belarus.
