The head of the Belarus Security Council, Alexander Volfovich, has called on the country's citizens to refrain from traveling to Russia in the near future, particularly to border regions. This recommendation comes in response to increasing drone attacks that have been affecting Russian territory. Volfovich emphasized that the security situation in the neighboring country has deteriorated due to these attacks, and Belarusians should avoid unnecessary risks. It is not yet clear whether this advice is an official ban or just a warning. Belarus and Russia are close allies, and their citizens frequently travel between the two countries. This call highlights growing concerns about security along Russia's border, which may be linked to the ongoing war in Ukraine. No information has been provided on how long the recommendation will remain in effect.
