On the evening of September 4, a fighter jet of the Belarusian Air Force was spotted in the sky over the Gomel region, which took off from the air base in Baranovichi at about 22:50. The fighter jet continues to patrol for an hour near the border with the Chernihiv region of Ukraine. The Belarusian authorities have not yet provided comments on the reason for the fighter's flight in this area. This was reported by "Belaruski Gayun".

Experts and observers suggest that one of the most likely reasons for the increased aviation activity may be the concern of the Belarusian military about possible penetrations of unmanned aerial vehicles into the country's airspace. In recent months, cases of unauthorized entry of UAVs into Belarusian airspace have become more frequent.
