A Belarusian news company reported several explosions Thursday morning at the Ziabrauka airfield in the Gomel region of southern Belarus, which lies on the border with Ukraine and where Belarusian troops were checked to determine their “combat readiness. “
Belarus’ Defense Ministry said some army aircraft jammed after an expired inspection wednesday night, Kyiv Independent reported.
An adviser to Belarusian opposition leader Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya took to Twitter to say that at least 8 explosions took place near the airbase which is “used by Russian aircraft in the war against Ukraine. “
“So far, there is no confirmation that these explosions are similar to the military training conducted by the Russian and Belarusian armies on Belarusian territory,” adviser Franak Viačorka added.
The simultaneous fires come just days after explosions rocked a Russian airbase in occupied Crimea, destroying at least fighter jets.
“In a single day, the occupiers lost ten fighter jets: nine in Crimea and one more in the direction of Zaporizhzhia,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in his speech Wednesday afternoon. “The occupants are also suffering additional losses of armoured vehicles. , ammunition depots, logistics routes. “

“The more casualties the occupiers suffer, the faster we can liberate our land and ensure the security of Ukraine,” he added.
It is still unclear what caused the explosions in Crimea and Ukrainian defense officials have taken it upon themselves to attack the airbase.
Moscow downplayed the significance of the destructive occasion and claimed the ammunition accidentally exploded at the airfield, images released on Thursday may suggest it was a missile attack, according to a Reuters report.
Mykhailo Podolyak, Zelenskyy’s adviser, took the opportunity to say that the “technical accidents” that afflict the Russian defenses were “karma”.
“The outbreak of technical injuries at army airfields in Crimea and Belarus will have to be noted by the Russian military as a warning: Ukraine, take off your uniform and leave,” he said in a tweet. “Neither in occupied Crimea nor in occupied Belarus will you feel safe.
“Karma digs you up anywhere,” he added.
