Details: According to the chief of Belarusian KGB, his agency “recently conducted a series of sharp Chekist measures that made it possible to prevent strikes by combat drones from Lithuania on objects in Minsk and its suburbs”. This was done in collaboration with other security agencies.
Tertel added that as of now they cannot “share detailed information with the public”.
The statement provides no further details regarding the “thwarted attack”.
