In a recent development, the governor of Sevastopol has confirmed reports of Russian military forces using smoke camouflage in the region. This announcement comes as tensions continue to rise between Russia and Ukraine. The governor, Mikhail Razvozhaev, took to his Telegram channel to inform residents about the use of tactical masking techniques by the military.
According to the governor, if residents witness smoke in the inner harbor and North Bay, it is a result of the military’s efforts to conceal their positions. While the smell of the smoke may be unpleasant, there is no immediate danger associated with it.
However, the governor also revealed that the military is currently engaged in repelling an attack from the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). Preliminary reports suggest that several airborne targets have been successfully intercepted, highlighting the intensity of the ongoing conflict.
This recent development follows an earlier declaration of an air alert in Sevastopol. Just a few days ago, the governor reported the downing of a missile over the Black Sea waters. Thankfully, there were no recorded damages in the city as a result of the incident.
The governor’s cautionary approach towards New Year’s Eve celebrations is also worth noting. In light of the ongoing hostilities, Razvozhaev urged residents to stay indoors and avoid venturing into open spaces. This warning came amidst concerns of possible rocket attacks from Ukraine, further emphasizing the volatile situation in the region.
In addition to the military activity, the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation (SKR) announced an investigation into attempted assassinations of officials in Crimea and Sevastopol. This latest development adds another layer of complexity to the already tense situation, highlighting the ongoing challenges faced by the region.
As tensions between Russia and Ukraine continue to escalate, the use of smoke camouflage by Russian military forces in Sevastopol serves as a reminder of the ongoing conflict in the region. With the governor confirming the military’s efforts to repel attacks from Ukraine, it is evident that the situation remains highly volatile. The actions of both sides have raised concerns, not only for the safety of the residents but also for the stability of the region as a whole.
