A military coup is under way in Belarus, according to announcements made by a council of generals. The president of Belarus has not been seen since yesterday and there is no indication as to his present condition or location. There was sporadic gunfire in the early hours around the presidential palace, but it ceased some time ago.
The Belarusian military has suffered badly as part of Russian invasion of Europe and disquiet amongst many of its leading generals had been rumored for some time. The announcement also indicated that while the remnants of Belarus's land forces would be withdrawing, its air force would continue to support Russia.
This event will surely weaken the Russian efforts in the East of Poland where NATO forces are on the offensive.
