In Minsk, during the protests, a law enforcement officer fired a warning shot into the air. Before that, a column of protesters had gathered at the scene of the incident.

Reported by Onliner.

Security agents came across one of the columns of protesters on Novovilenskaya Street. The column advanced towards the town of Dorzdy, where the country’s leadership lives. There were about 50 meters between the protesters and the security forces. An argument ensued between them. At some point, a warning shot rang out into the air from security forces.

Vehicles with shields and uniformed security forces appeared at the scene of the incident. They started moving towards the protesters, after which the protesters dispersed and began to leave the scene.

It should be remembered that today continues the 36th day of protests in Belarus. During the demonstrations, law enforcement officials have already arrested 250 protesters.
