"Everything Is Sewn With White Threads": Belarusians Reacted To The UAV Crash In Minsk

No one believes the authorities' version.

In Minsk's Dombrovka neighborhood a drone crashed. On the night of July 29, it crashed into an apartment building but did not explode, although the Investigative Committee claims it was equipped with a TNT-based explosive device.

The authorities claim they "grounded" it. However, Belarusians in the TikTok account of "Charter'97" write that the drone flew into a house at 72 Matussevicha Street:

"And this is just the beginning."

"No one wanted to make a fuss. It's just business as usual."

"Allowed Russia to fly! It's a mess!"

"We need to strengthen air defense on the part of the Russian Federation, because a lot of them have been flying lately."

"It's a Russian shaheddin."

"The main thing is that the sky is peaceful, they said."

"Everything is sewn with white threads."

People wonder: if the drone was landed, as the authorities claim, why couldn't it have been done on the outskirts of Minsk:

"Why land it in the city? They would have taken it outside the city. It could have exploded - and it would not have seemed a lot."

"True! Question: why was there no evacuation of people? And I think that they knew that it would not explode!!!".
