Valfovich: Belarus already knows the person who launched a drone from Lithuania towards Hrodna
Secretary of State of the Security Council of Belarus, Alyaksandr Valfovich, stated that the person who launched a drone from the territory of Lithuania has allegedly already been identified from camera recordings. He shared this in an interview with the "First Information" TV channel. According to Valfovich, Belarus has provided Lithuania with a photo of the alleged drone operator.

Valfovich claims that the drone with white-red-white flags flew into Belarus specifically from Lithuania and calls the incident a provocation. He reported that a detailed investigation is being conducted on Lukashenka's order, and that "the trajectory embedded in the 'brains' of this unmanned aerial vehicle was accurately uncovered." According to the official, the drone was allegedly supposed to head to Poland after Belarus, which, in his opinion, was intended to "clash the two states."
Valfovich added that special services continue to search for the person who launched the drone, and the Lithuanian side has been informed about the course of the investigation. He called on Lithuania for cooperation and stated that it is impossible to resolve the situation without the interaction of special services and other security forces.
Valfovich then moved on to accusations against Lithuania, claiming that its authorities "exaggerate the situation" with balloon incursions and do not provide concrete evidence.
Lithuania, he said, "has no desire to resolve the conflict," as it is allegedly politically beneficial for the neighboring country.
On November 30, the Belarusian Ministry of Foreign Affairs reported that a drone had allegedly entered Belarusian territory from Lithuania and fallen in Hrodna. Official structures called the incident a "premeditated provocation," and the Ministry of Internal Affairs stated that the drone was allegedly conducting reconnaissance and simultaneously dropping "extremist symbols," i.e., white-red-white flags.
Lithuanian manufacturer Granta Autonomy acknowledged the drone's similarity to an older model of theirs but noted that it had been modified and its entry into Belarus was unknown. The Lithuanian Minister of Defense called the Belarusian accusations a fake.
