Few facts, much speculation as explosions heard in Belarus

Today, 12:02 am

Reports indicate that booms are being heard in several areas of southern Belarus.

There is no confirmed reliable information about the source of the blasts, but speculation over the mystery ranges from sonic booms to a false flag attack by Russia to an internal coup.

An opposition politician opposed to Minsk’s alliance with Moscow claims 30 aircraft recently took off and 6 missiles were shot near Kalinkovich, about 30 miles (50 kilometers) from the border with Ukraine.

Sonic booms from low-flying fighters?

Or maybe Ukraine attacked Belarus, not as a false flag.

You might want to check out the air traffic control reports.

Since the “exercise” in Belarus (Belorussian officials telling the world and each other it definitely was Russia-led training exercises, not an attack by Ukraine) ended a ludicrous number of take-offs have been observed right across Russian airspace. Off east, or into the mountains. Lots of charters and private jets.

Lavrov’s jet to China’s been redirected.

It’s inviting wild speculation- oligarchs doing a runner, Belarus and other vassal states turning on Moscow, military coups, Chernobyl about to go boom...

We can only hope it is so..................

Who knows? Could be almost anything. My suspicion, however, is it is some kind of “warning” to Poland in response to Poland’s prime minister (or was it its president?) making his comments following the visit to Ukraine.

I listened to the audio last night.

It didn’t sound like a sonic boom—it was more of a single “pop.” There wasn’t any “after pops” or rolling thunder noises.

If they were rockets, we’d see pictures by now.

Honestly, it sounded like the noise that’s made in my town when an empty dumpster is dropped off a truck. It sounds like a bomb when it’s next door—but a couple of streets away it’s just a “bang.”
