According to available information, the terrorist attack is being prepared by a subversive and intelligence group made up of military personnel of the Russian Armed Forces and employees of the Russian special services who were sent to Belarus under the guise of Wagner fighters.

Cyber experts also recovered and analyzed information on the captured invader's mobile phone.
Among other things, it was established that the Russian had earlier taken part in combat operations against Ukrainian forces in southern Ukraine and recently received an order to relocate to Belarus as a member of the Wagner private military company.
When changing the place of service, the Russian soldier received information about a "special mission at the Mozyr plant. Deleted correspondence with other accomplices, pictures of the object and separate data regarding the operation were found in his phone.
"The Security Service warns the Belarusian army against participating in a full-scale war against Ukraine. Every invader who crosses the border of our state will be destroyed by our Security and Defense Forces," the SBU said.
