Law enforcement officers have completed the identification of those killed in the Russian missile strike on a supermarket and post office in Konstantinovka on August 9. The shelling killed 14 people. Another 44 people were injured to varying degrees.
“The process of identifying and recognizing the bodies of those killed in the missile strike on a shopping center in Konstantinovka has been completed. According to final data, 14 people were killed in the attack by the Russian armed forces, including three children – girls aged 9, 11 and 16,” the Donetsk Regional Prosecutor's Office reported.
Ukrainian missiles and drones did not violate the airspace of Belarus, the monitoring group “Belarusian Gayun” stated.
According to its information, on August 9, 2024, no drones were detected during the flight of Belarusian aircraft. No missile launches from the SU-30 fighter or the MI-24 helicopter were recorded either.”
“From which it follows that the next loud statements of the self-proclaimed Lukashenko are ordinary nonsense,” the monitoring group emphasized.
Let us recall that on August 10, the self-proclaimed president of Belarus stated that Ukraine had allegedly violated the republic's airspace, which is why the latter is reinforcing its troops in the Gomel and Mozyr directions. Iskander OTRKs and Polonez SAMs are being deployed there.
Ukrainian border guards subsequently reported that the situation on the Ukrainian-Belarusian border is under control. At the same time, it is noticeable that Belarus is again beginning to escalate the situation in this direction.
