Minsk has apparently been shut down. No way in or out.
Troops spotted heading into Belarus capital Minsk
Belarus troops were spotted heading into the capital Minsk, in military trucks around today.
The trucks, armoured and tactical vehicles were spotted and recorded on video on the streets ahead of the presidential election.
Also, Radio Free Europe correspondents reported that at the entrances to Minsk, were spotted armored vehicles and police which stop and check cars.
“The first day of elections has come in Belarus and its current head is already reinsuring himself, driving columns of military equipment to Minsk,” Rendel Finger said on Twitter.
