Belarus conducting joint tactical nuclear drills with Russia, Tass reports

Reuters has revealed that Belarus and Russia will be conducting joint tactical nuclear drills, as reported by the state news agency TASS.

In an effort to ensure preparedness, Belarus has initiated checks on the readiness of its military to deploy tactical nuclear weapons, parallel to Russia’s ongoing drill.

Russia announced its intentions to practice the deployment of tactical nuclear weapons in response to what it claims were threats from France, Britain, and the United States.

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko had previously mentioned in April that a number of Russian tactical nuclear weapons had been stationed in Belarus, following an agreement made with President Vladimir Putin last year.
