Lukashenko's regime is claiming daily attempts by Ukrainian drones to cross the Belarusian border. Ukrainian border guards have described the allegations made by Russia's ally as absurd.

Quote from Volfovich: "On a daily basis our air defence forces register regular crossings of the Belarus-Ukraine border by combat drones, as well as their crash landings on our territory. In some instances, these are not accidental strikes but deliberate efforts to target border infrastructure, masked as stray incursions. In just the last week alone, there were 116 such incidents."
