"On the night of 3–4 May of this year, between the stations of Bielsk and Hajnaŭka, the driver of a passing passenger train noticed that firewood stacked by the railway was on fire. The railway fire brigade, sent out at once, put out the fire. About 30 cubic metres of firewood burned. The preliminary investigation revealed that the fire was caused by arson committed by the bands that roam these parts."
