A Ukrainian S-300 missile allegedly crashed in Belarus, according to the state news agency BelTA, cited by Sky News.
Details. The Defence Ministry of Minsk is reportedly investigating whether the missile was shot down by Belarusian air defence systems or was a misfire.
Local reports claim that Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has asked a "group of specialists" to investigate the matter.
The alleged incident occurred between 10 a.m. and 11 a.m. local time. According to BelTA, there is no information about the casualties. Ukraine has not yet commented on this statement.
Anna Liubakova, a Belarusian journalist, tweeted:
"Officially confirmed: this morning a S-300 missile fell in Belarus. President Lukashenko ordered to create a group of specialists to investigate the incident. There are no casualties. Propaganda immediately accused Ukrainians of this."
