Authorities increase attention to public safety in Minsk

The Minsk city underground stopped working for three hours on February 26th following a terrorism alert.

It is noteworthy that the number of news reports about incidents in the Minsk metro increases when socio-economic tensions grow in Belarus. In recent months, large population groups have been cut off some state social benefits, resulting in discontent with ongoing socio-economic policies.

If social tensions in society continue to grow, the authorities will demonstrate their control over the infrastructure in Minsk more often.
