Sevastopol Governor Mikhail Razvozhaev announced the discovery of hidden surveillance cameras in the city that were used to spy on military facilities of the Russian Defense Ministry. According to him, the devices were installed in the interests of foreign intelligence services and posed a threat to the region's security. At the moment, all discovered cameras have been dismantled, and the Federal Security Service has begun an investigation to identify those involved in their installation and operation.

According to Razvozzhaev, the cameras were part of a carefully planned operation aimed at collecting intelligence on the location and operation of military facilities.

Particular attention is drawn to information circulating in closed Ukrainian Telegram channels. It is noted that devices are used with the ability to turn them on and off remotely, which allows activating equipment at key moments, for example, during attacks on Crimea. Such technology could be used to adjust strikes, which significantly increased the effectiveness of enemy actions.

The prompt actions to eliminate the spy network were a response to the growing threat of sabotage in a strategically important region. Work to ensure the security of Sevastopol is being carried out in close cooperation with law enforcement agencies. The FSB, in turn, has already launched a series of measures aimed at identifying the organizers and perpetrators. So far, no official data on those detained or specific suspects has been announced, but the investigation promises to act as quickly as possible.

The CCTV incident fits into a broader context of escalating tensions around Crimea. The region has been the target of repeated attacks in recent months, including drone strikes and sabotage attempts. The use of remotely controlled devices for reconnaissance indicates a shift to more sophisticated and technologically advanced methods of confrontation. This, in turn, requires Russian intelligence services to step up their countermeasures.
