MINSK, 13 September (BelTA) – Belarusian army units fired live missiles using multiple-launch rocket systems Smerch and Polonez and tactical missile systems Tochka. The group strike by personnel of the 336th Reactive Artillery Brigade and the 465th Missile Brigade represented the culmination of a check exercise taking place in the military training area Sary-Shagan in Kazakhstan, the Belarusian Defense Ministry told BelTA.

The check exercise is not over yet. The Belarusian missile forces will continue practicing their skills in the course of missile strikes but without live ammunition.
