During the massive attack on Ukrainian infrastructure by Russian Geran-2 (Shahed) kamikaze drones on July 31, at least five drones flew into Belarus.

The Belaruski Gayun monitoring group reported on this.

It is reported that the first of the kamikaze drones entered the airspace of Belarus around 11:20 p.m. near the village of Asarevichy.

At 11:50 p.m., a Belarusian Air Force fighter scramble off from the Baranovichi air base and flew for more than an hour throughout southeastern Belarus near the border.

The fighter was spotted near Richytsia, Gomel, and other settlements in the border area with Ukraine.

This indicates that the aircraft was intensively searching for targets and was not just raised for reconnaissance but also for targeted detection and possible drone interception.

It stayed in the south of the country until 01:30 a.m., but even after it returned to the airfield, the Geran-2 (Shahed) drones continued to enter Belarus.

Other kamikaze drones invaded the airspace of Belarus near the villages of Loyew, Asarevichy, and Kirove.

This happened at 11:20 p.m., 00:05 p.m., 01:20 p.m. The last group entered Belarus at around 02:30 p.m., and in the latter case, there were two of them at once.

After entering the airspace, most of the drones immediately went deeper into the Polessky State Radiation Ecological Reserve and then back to Ukraine, but one flew over 260 km across Belarus, as far as the city of Stolin in the Brest region.

In July, Militarnyi twice reported cases of Russian kamikaze drones entering Belarusian airspace.

On July 13, it was reported that one of the Russian drones flew from the territory of Ukraine to Belarus and flew more than 350 km over four regions of the neighboring country and approached Minsk.

On July 17, it was reported that the Shahed drone fell between the village of Parychi and the agricultural town of Lyuban in the Gomel region, 55 kilometers from the city of Bobruisk and 120 kilometers from the border with Ukraine.
