MINSK (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 08th August, 2023) The Belarusian armed forces are running an exercise near the Polish and Lithuanian borders in a tough environment which is as close as possible to real-life combat, Belarus' defense ministry said on Tuesday.
"A live-fire phase (of the drills) took place at the Gozhsky training ground, which practiced a tactical scenario with ambush operations. The commanders created tough conditions that were as close as possible to those in real combat," the ministry said in a statement.
