At least 4 Shaheds enter Belarus at night, fighter jet scrambled – Belaruski Hajun
At least four of the Shaheds launched by Russia entered the airspace of Belarus on the night of 3-4 September, and a Belarusian Air Force fighter jet was scrambled.
Source: Belaruski Hajun, an independent Belarusian military monitoring media outlet
Details: Hajun analysed Ukrainian monitoring sources on Telegram and wrote that at least four Shahed-type kamikaze drones flew into Belarusian airspace last night. The first of them crossed the border with Belarus at around 01:50 near the village of Verkhniya Zhary and, a few minutes later, flew into Ukraine towards the Chornobyl zone.
The next airspace violations took place at 04:48, 05:49 and 08:04. Most of the Shahed drones flew near the Belarusian-Ukrainian border, constantly crossing it in both directions, but one of them flew over the border and headed north.
Quote from Belaruski Hajun: "The last time it was seen was at 05:49 near Zhlobin, after which it was lost; where it went is unknown. It should be noted that the Ukrainian Air Force also reported that one of the Shaheds entered Belarus at night. This is probably the UAV in question.
According to our information, a Belarusian Air Force fighter jet took off from the Baranovichi airfield at around 06:20 and, after flying for 1.5 hours, returned to Baranovichi at 08:00."
Background: On the night of 3-4 September, the Russian army attacked Ukraine with air- and ground-launched missiles and Shahed-type attack UAVs. Ukrainian air defence managed to shoot down 29 air targets.
