Belaruski Hajun, a Belarusian military monitoring outlet, has reported that a long-range radar surveillance aircraft and a MiG-31K fighter jet capable of carrying Kinzhal hypersonic missiles took off in Belarus.

The aircraft took off from the Machulishchy airfield just before air-raid sirens were sounded in Ukraine.
