Residents of Homiel report loud sounds in the sky. They were heard in Volatava and Stary Aerodrom at around 5:25 a.m. today, Flagshtok reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Social media users describe the sound as “a terrifying crack and rumble” and “a loud rumble.” Some wrote that it sounded like a low-flying aircraft.<\/p>\n

“It was as if something flew past very quickly and very loudly, we even woke up,”<\/em> “I suddenly woke up from the sound, it wasn’t clear what it was, I thought a plane was flying very low,”<\/em> “I live at the airfield, I woke up from a loud rumble,”<\/em> Homiel residents wrote on social media.<\/p>\n

At the time, Russia’s massive attack on Ukraine was continuing. According to monitoring channels, Russian jet-powered drones were flying along the Belarusian-Ukrainian border from Dobrush District to Brahin District.<\/p>\n

“Another group of Russian jet-powered drones was moving along the border from around 4 to 5 a.m. Missiles were also flying toward Kyiv and Boryspil from the north and east at the same time,”<\/em> the outlet writes.<\/p>\n

The outlet suggests that an attempt may have been made to shoot down a drone in the Homiel area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
