Belarus deployed an aircraft to thwart a Russian drone that had flown into its airspace, it has been reported.
"Aviation was used for the first time in Belarus to shoot down a Shahed drone," according to the Belarusian Hajun Project, an open-source intelligence outlet that monitors military activity of Russian and Belarusian troops in Belarus.
Russia has used Iranian-made Shahed unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) also known as a "kamikaze drones" to target Ukrainian civilian and energy infrastructure. Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko is Putin's closest ally. While the Russian president has avoided involving Minsk directly in the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Belarusian territory has been used to stage attacks.
The Hajun Project said that the Iranian drone had entered Belarus' airspace in the Homiel (Gomel) region around 3:30 a.m., prompting the deployment of a Belarusian Air Force fighter.
