What people reported about Russian drones over Belarus.
Gomel residents reported the flight of Russian attack drones over the city on the night of July 10, when the Russian Federation carried out another massive attack with "shaheds" and missiles on several regions of Ukraine, writes "Flagstaff".
The first drones on the territory of Gomel region appeared already in the evening of July 9, when the Russian army launched several groups of UAVs from Bryansk region. As "Flagstaff" informed, over the southern outskirts of Gomel began to hear a sound similar to the sound of a "moped" after midnight. At around 01:26 there was a muffled explosion southwest of Gomel - it may have been a drone being shot down or falling with a subsequent detonation. In a chat room of one of Gomel's Telegram channels, Gomel residents described what was happening in real time. In the morning, the messages were deleted.
Homel residents reported that they heard the sound of a "moped" over Novobelitsky, Selmashevsky and Volotovsky neighborhoods. Eyewitnesses noted uneven engine operation.
The number of UAVs over the city was discussed in the comments - some counted six "shaheds", but it could be the same drone circling Gomel. In general, the sound of the drone was heard in the regional center for an hour and a half.
In the same time, residents of Rechytsa also heard UAV flights and claimed that there were at least three drones.
In general, according to preliminary calculations, more than 20 Russian UAVs flew into the territory of Homel region since the evening of July 9. At the same time, only about 5 drones returned to Ukraine, while the rest probably crashed or were shot down on the territory of Belarus. The first one entered the airspace of the republic at 20:18 on July 9, the last one - at 02:03 on July 10.
Recently, the flights of Russian drones into the territory of Belarus have become more frequent - as a result of an increase in the scale of attacks.
