Satellittbilder viser renovering av det sovjetiske atomvåpenlageret nær Asipovichy, Hviterussland.

Planet Labs-bilder fra 2025, publisert av SVT i juni 2025, viste at et sovjetisk atomvåpenlager nær Asipovichy i Hviterussland ble renovert, med nye luftforsvarsinstallasjoner og en modernisert jernbanelasteplattform. Russland kunngjorde i 2023 at de hadde utplassert taktiske atomvåpen i Hviterussland, men har ikke oppgitt hvor de lagres. I mars 2024 hadde Federation of American Scientists allerede dokumentert sikkerhetsoppgraderinger ved depotet, inkludert en firedobbel sikkerhetsperimeter, etter rapporterte inspeksjoner av russiske tjenestemenn 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.
