Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether there is any evidence of Russian launching missile strikes against Ukraine from Belarusian territory.

Since its all-out invasion of Ukraine, we assess that Russia has occasionally launched missiles against Ukraine from Belarussian territory, including SS-26 Iskander short-range ballistic missiles, and air defence missiles employed in the surface-to-surface role. In addition, it has highly likely also launched some Iranian provided one-way-attack uncrewed aerial vehicles (OWA-UAVs) from Belarus.
