 Belarus to install air raid siren system near border with Ukraine. Belarus is massively installing a system of launching air raid sirens in rural areas on the border with Ukraine and in the border areas of Gomel Oblast. Belarusian local media outlet Flash Talk informed about it. The Gomel Oblast administration of the Ministry of Emergencies of Belarus is procuring services to modernize the automated system of centralized notification of the population of the border regions in Gomel Oblast. From the technical description of the purchase, it follows that the modernization involves the installation of siren notification systems in the border areas of Gomel Oblast with Ukraine. The project affects 52 settlements in 8 districts of the Oblast, mostly in rural areas. It is planned to place air raid siren notification systems on the buildings of village councils, kindergartens, schools, and collective farms. Authorities want to launch the system by December 2023. According to the tender, the most significant number of warning systems will be installed in Gomel, Dobrush, Brahin, Loyu, Narulia and Jelsk districts. These are the districts that, at the beginning of 2022, became a springboard for Russian troops to attack Ukraine.
