Russia launches kamikaze drones from Belarus 10 times over past week - Ukraine’s General Staff

That’s according to Brigadier General Oleksii Hromov, Deputy Chief of the Main Operational Department of Ukraine Army’s General Staff, who spoke at a Kyiv briefing on the security situation in Ukraine, Ukrinform reports.

"In addition to the Ziabrivka airfield, the enemy is trying to deploy its troops at other airfields, also conducting active operations on the training grounds across the Republic of Belarus. Also, the enemy continues to use kamikaze drones from that direction. In addition, this week, 10 launches of Shahed drones were carried out from the territory of the Republic of Belarus," said Hromov.

According to the senior defense official, Ukraine monitors all these operations and movements. "Currently, we have not spotted an enemy offensive group being created in Belarus, but the enemy is purposefully undertaking certain measures. There are and there will be threats. We are responding accordingly while we monitor the situation. We have already increased our grouping in the northern operational zone. We respond adequately to all threats, not only threats from the Republic of Belarus, but also from the east and south of our country," added the General Staff official.

As reported, full-scale Russian military aggression has been ongoing in Ukraine since February 24. The defense forces are fiercely repelling Russian invaders.
