Lukashenko's foreign ministry "strongly condemned" the incident.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Belarus announced that it had delivered a note of protest to the Chargé d’Affaires of Ukraine in the Republic of Belarus Ivan Novitsky.
According to Belarusian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Ruslan Varanov, the protest is related to “an attack by a Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicle” on a civilian bus carrying Belarusian citizens.
The Foreign Ministry “strongly condemned” the incident.
“The Ukrainian side has been informed that as a result of this monstrous crime, a Belarusian citizen was killed, and six other citizens, including five children, were injured, some of them seriously,” Varanov said.
The ministry also noted that it is awaiting an official response from the Ukrainian side.
“The Belarusian side has demanded that the Ukrainian side provide a comprehensive explanation of what happened, conduct an immediate and objective investigation, and ensure that all those responsible are held strictly accountable,” the statement reads.
The Belarusian Foreign Ministry called the incident a “terrorist act” and emphasized that “it considers such actions unacceptable.”
The day before, the Security Service of Ukraine stated that intercepted an official Russian document that denies Ukraine’s involvement in the attack on a bus carrying Belarusian citizens in the Bryansk region. The SBU believes there are grounds to suspect that the attack on the bus carrying Belarusian citizens in the Bryansk region may have been a special operation carried out by Russian intelligence agencies.
