Abstract:
Belarusian customs officials on the Belarusian-Polish border detained a truck
with radioactive cargo en route to Russia, Radio Rossii reported on 7 September

which was sold by a Lithuanian entity to a commercial entity in Russia, and was
being transported from Germany to Russia. [1] The truck was taken to a special
parking lot for further investigation.
