MINSK, 19 June (BelTA) – The attack on a bus carrying Belarusian children in Russia's Bryansk Oblast was intended to inflict maximum harm on its passengers, as indicated by the nature of the damage. The drone was packed with shrapnel, and the perpetrators were fully aware of their actions, Vladimir Pertsov, First Deputy Head of the Belarus President Administration said during the program Club of Editors on Belarus 1 TV channel, BelTA has learned.
“The drone was packed with fragmentation elements aimed not at blowing up the bus, but at inflicting maximum casualties on the people inside. A large number of drones were operating in the area. This indicates that the operation was coordinated by human operators, not artificial intelligence. It was not a drone flying on a low battery and just hitting something at random (as some so-called opposition media claim),” he said.
“The fact that when the group of people and children who were not injured in the attack returned to retrieve their belongings from the damaged bus, a large number of drones were still circling above it (thankfully, electronic warfare systems managed to drive them away and suppress them, thanks to our law enforcement agencies, primarily the Belarusian ones) shows that all of this was controlled and coordinated. And it was certainly no accident,” Vladimir Pertsov stressed.
