Satellitbilleder viser renovering af det sovjetiske atomvåbenlager nær Asipovichy, Hviderusland.

Planet Labs-billeder fra 2025, offentliggjort af SVT i juni 2025, viste, at et sovjetisk atomvåbenlager nær Asipovichy i Hviderusland blev renoveret, med nye luftforsvarsinstallationer og en moderniseret jernbanelæsseplatform. Rusland meddelte i 2023, at det havde udstationeret taktiske atomvåben i Hviderusland, men har ikke oplyst, hvor de opbevares. I marts 2024 havde Federation of American Scientists allerede dokumenteret sikkerhedsopgraderinger på depotet, herunder en firedobbelt sikkerhedsperimeter, efter rapporterede inspektioner af russiske embedsmænd i 2023.

Planet Labs imagery from 2025, published by SVT in June 2025, showed that a Soviet-era nuclear weapons storage facility near Asipovichy in Belarus was being renovated, with new air-defence installations and a modernised railway loading platform. Russia announced in 2023 that it had deployed tactical nuclear weapons to Belarus but has not disclosed where they are stored. In March 2024, the Federation of American Scientists had already documented security upgrades at the depot, including a quadruple security perimeter, following reported inspections by Russian officials in 2023.
