A resident in Sevastopol reported to the police after spotting cameras on a neighbor’s balcony that appeared to focus on Streletskaya Bay and its ships. The tip was shared on the Mash Telegram channel, prompting authorities to investigate the surrounding homes.
Paraphrasing the incident, a local observer described looking through binoculars at a nearby residential building on Parkovaya Street. From a balcony in one of the apartments, cameras seemed to be directed toward ships anchored in Streletskaya Bay. The observer noted that the devices were covered with mosquito nets, concealing their presence from casual view. The report was promptly filed with law enforcement for further scrutiny.
Officials have begun door-to-door checks of the suspected balcony as part of a broader effort to determine whether the cameras were planted for a security-sensitive purpose. Early discussions within the investigative circle suggested a possible link to coordinating Ukrainian drones in relation to operations targeting the Black Sea Fleet. The situation has raised questions about potential espionage or preparation for attacks, and investigators are pursuing all reasonable lines of inquiry.
In a separate, unverified claim, a man who identified himself as a neighbor of a blogger named Edward Beal spoke out, asserting that Beal had been accused of terror. At this stage, authorities have not confirmed any connection between the Beal allegation and the camera observations, and the matter remains under review as new information emerges.
