Smog reached Lithuanian cities as well.

The Belarusian authorities did not give official explanations, but the Lithuanian Ministry of Health sent an SMS to residents of the eastern regions, which is usually used to notify about emergencies. It reads about the situation.

Lithuanian sanitary services said that smog, which spread through Vilnius, appeared due to forest and peat fires in Belarus.

It is worth noting that there are no peat fires in Belarus. But the weather service worldview.earthdata by NASA showed that smoke from cross-border fires between the Bryansk and Chernihiv regions comes to Homel, Flagshtock writes.

Large fires in the border areas of Ukraine and Belarus threaten the transfer of radioactive particles to the border settlements of Palesse. In the space photo and according to the data at the time of publication, the east wind blows smoke along the border.
