The National Border Committee of Belarus has denied reports of an alleged February 25 shooting at the border with Ukraine. The corresponding press release was published by the department on Sunday evening.
“The information disseminated by extremists has nothing to do with reality. There were no incidents with the use of weapons, border patrols did not open fire, the department said.
Earlier, a number of Ukrainian media reported on the death of a Territorial Defense militant from Volyn on the border with Belarus. It was noted that the incident took place following a shootout with Belarusian security forces. The incident reportedly took place on the morning of February 25, but it only became known today.
