The KGB reports the explosion occurred at 18:48 on November 11. Yet, the first information appeared in social media at around 2 AM on the next day.
Witnesses report about an explosion near the KGB (Committee for State Security) headquarters in Viciebsk. It is also said that a young passers-by wearing hoods are being detained, RFE/RL says
“The detainees stay face to the wall near the central entrance. Near the right wing of the building, there is do-not-cross tape,” Representative of the Belarusian Helsinki Committee Paval Lievinau tells about what he saw at about 3:40 AM local time.
“A KGB bus stays nearby, the light is on in the building. Some civil-dressed persons stay before the building and also several policemen guard the perimeter.”
“There are no visible destructions. The police neither confirmed nor denied any incident and advised to contact the press-service of the Ministry of Interior of the Viciebsk region as the serviceman in a district police office I talked to were not in the position to report anything. The orderly officer also reported nothing about the detentions,” Lievinau says.
