Ministry of Defense continues checking information on intruder aircraft

This has been informed to the agency "Interfax-West" by the press-center of the Belarusian Ministry of Defense. Previously they claimed that "there are no facts that the air border of the Republic of Belarus was crossed".

Let us remind you, it was informed yesterday morning that teddy bears had been thrown over Minsk. A plane that flew at a low height from Lithuania is said to have done it. It was informed that the action had been conducted by the citizens of Sweden. The Belarusian Ministry of Defense claimed that there was no illegal crossing of our country's air border. It was also informed that the whole action took place in Sweden. One of the PR agencies claimed that they wanted to turn attention to the situation with the freedom of speech in Belarus this way.

However, a video showing the plane flying over Ivyanets and Minsk, with landing of the teddy bears, appeared later, as well as testimonies of eye-witnesses and participants of the action. 

Yesterday there appeared non-official information that the military men from the unit responsible for security of the country's air borders in this region, located near Smarhon, are allegedly threatened with tribunal for the "teddy bears landing".
