May 13, Pozirk. <\/strong>At least six drones have violated Belarusian airspace in the Homiel region along the Belarusian-Ukrainian border during Russia\u2019s massive airstrikes on Ukrainian cities this morning, Flagshtok <\/em>reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Incursions were reported from 8:40 am to 10 am in the Brahin and Chojniki districts. It remains unknown what happened to the drones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have been regularly spotted over Belarus as Russia continues attacking Ukraine. In late March, a Russian drone crashed into a vegetable garden in a village of the \u0141oje\u016d district near the Ukrainian border, but did not explode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Belarusian troops regularly use aircraft and surface-to-air missile systems to destroy drones that enter the country\u2019s airspace, according to Andrej \u0141ukjanovi\u010d, commander of the Air Force and Air Defense Forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last year, Belarusian authorities regularly tested the public warning system, particularly in the southern part of the country, which faces frequent incursions by Russian drones targeting Ukraine. About 520 drones were defused in Belarus in 2025, with one in three being combat drones, according to Deputy Interior Minister Mika\u0142aj Karpianko\u016d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In February 2022, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Minsk supported the Kremlin by allowing Russian troops to attack Ukraine from Belarusian territory on multiple occasions and by supplying arms to Moscow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
