“Based on the analysis of on-board equipment data, it has been established for certain that it was launched from the territory of Ukraine in order to conduct illegal reconnaissance activities over the Brestsky military training ground,” the Belarusian Foreign Ministry noted.

Earlier, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said that Belarus is strengthening the state border with Ukraine. According to Lukashenka, an additional contingent of armed forces was sent to this area, and also stressed that he was forced to do this, “because we are no better on the border with Ukraine than with the Poles.”
