RIA Novosti informs about this with reference to the press service of the GUVD of the Gomel Regional Executive Committee.
It is noted that no weapons were used against the protesters.
"We used technical devices that cause a loud bang and a flash of light," the police said.
According to the press service, law enforcement officers also used tear gas because "some people behaved inappropriately."
Earlier in Minsk, arrests were carried out before a planned unauthorized opposition rally.
