One flew over Gomel, while the other reached the border with Poland.

Additional instances of violations of Belarusian airspace during Russian attacks were recorded by “Flagstok” October 18–19. This time, the drones flew not only into the Gomel Region but also into the Brest Region.

Around 2:30 a.m. on October 18, the Ukrainian Telegram channel “Rynda Monitors” reported the movement of an unidentified UAV near the village of Rostan in the Kovel District of the Volyn Region. Just a few minutes later, it was heading toward the village of Priborovo in the Brest District—right on the border with Poland.

The channel noted that it is not yet known for certain from which country this UAV was launched.

On the same day at 8:50 a.m., another drone followed its usual route through the Gomel region and flew toward Chernobyl. Another one followed the same trajectory around 9:00 p.m.

On October 19, at approximately 4:10 a.m., a jet-powered drone flew over Gomel. It was launched from the Bryansk region and subsequently flew toward Ukraine, the monitoring channel “eRadar” reported to Flagstok.

According to the “Rynda Monitors” channel, this UAV flew over the Rechitsa and Loevsky districts (the villages of Prokisel and Kolpen), heading toward Lyubech in the Chernihiv region.

Thus, a total of at least four Russian drones have, as of now, violated Belarusian airspace on October 18–19.

Meanwhile, Russian drones continue to move constantly along the Belarusian-Ukrainian border on a daily basis, using it as cover and likely “latching onto” signals from Belarusian cellular operator stations.

Residents of the Gomel border region regularly hear the sounds of explosions. It is likely that the Ukrainian military is managing to shoot down some of the drones in this area, and the sounds of explosions are coming from neighboring territory. Sometimes these sounds are very loud.
