According to the investigation , on the evening of May 11, 2023, on the M-5 Minsk-Gomel highway near the village of Yasen, near Bobruisk, “the driver of a DAF vehicle, driving past a stopped military transport convoy, detonated an unidentified device, independently made from pyrotechnic products, by throwing him towards the military personnel and military equipment and then tried to hide.
However, during the pursuit, his car was blocked by the military, and he himself was detained."
