Moscow Desk, Delhi Magazine – State Duma deputy Dmitry Gusev has called on the governors of Sevastopol, Mikhail Razvozhaev, and the Krasnodar Territory, Veniamin Kondratyev, to consider closing certain beaches in their regions. The proposal, reported by RIA Novosti, suggests the closure of beaches located near strategic and military installations, as well as other crowded areas such as recreation places and amusement parks.
This proposal comes in the wake of a tragic attack on Sunday by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on Sevastopol. Debris from one of the rockets fell onto a city beach, resulting in the deaths of four people, including two children, and injuries to 153 others. The incident has raised serious concerns about the safety of public spaces in proximity to potential military targets.
Gusev’s appeal emphasizes the urgent need to enhance security measures in these regions to protect civilians from similar incidents in the future. The document, as reported by the agency, underlines the necessity of proactive steps to ensure public safety amidst ongoing military conflicts.
The governors of Sevastopol and the Krasnodar Territory have yet to respond to Gusev’s proposal, but the call for action reflects growing anxiety over civilian safety in conflict zones. The discussion around the proposed closures is expected to prompt significant deliberation among local authorities and the public.
As the situation develops, further measures may be introduced to safeguard residents and visitors in these regions, highlighting the ongoing challenges faced by areas situated near strategic military sites.
