The latest images suggest Wagner has now begun to move personnel in large numbers.
Previous satellite images obtained by BBC Verify showed About 300 tents had been erected at Tsel over a two-week period.
Meanwhile, Wagner-linked channels on Telegram - a popular social messaging Platform - have posted footage claiming to show The Group 's flags being lowered at its main training base at Molkino, in the southern Russian territory of Krasnodar.
The lowering of flags is sometimes done when a military base is being closed.

" If Belarus needs them, we will instantly call upon the Wagner private military company to defend The Nation , " Mr Lukashenko Said .

Another, taken on the same day, shows a convoy arriving at The Camp .
Around the same time, video posted on Social Media showed a line of vehicles bearing the flags of Russia and Wagner heading towards Tsel on the same highway.
The Bbc has geolocated the footage to the M5's northbound carriageway just outside The City of Babruysk, About 44 miles (70km) southeast of Tsel.
Long convoys of vehicles bearing Wagner flags have also been captured on video inside Russia heading towards Belarus .
How many troops have relocated?It is currently unclear exactly how many troops are relocating to Tsel.
The Belarusian investigative journalism outlet Hayun estimates that a total of 100 units - cars, trucks and coaches - and About 600 people might have travelled to Tsel.
