Reuters is reporting that Belarus will be holding tactical nuclear drills together with Russia, according to the state news agency TASS.
Belarus has begun checks on the readiness of its army to deploy tactical nuclear weapons, simultaneously with a drill being carried out by Russia.
Russia said on Monday it would practise the deployment of tactical nuclear weapons as part of a military exercise after what Moscow said were threats from France, Britain and the United States.
