At least 10 Shahed drones entered Belarus on the night of Dec. 6 during a Russian military attack on Ukraine, according to the Belarusian Hajun monitoring group.

According to the group, some drones entered Belarus directly from Russia and traditionally passed through the “Belarusian corridor,” heading toward the cities of Homel, Loiev, and Mozyr. The first drone entered at 10:07 p.m., followed by additional drones at 1:06 a.m., 1:23 a.m., 1:33 a.m., 1:40 a.m., 1:53 a.m., 1:56 a.m., 3:08 a.m., 3:34 a.m., and 3:36 a.m. local time.
