Since February 24, 7 checkpoints have been operating at the entrances to Sevastopol: Orlinoe, Belbek, Verkhnesadovoe, Frontovoye, Ternovka, Goncharnoye, and Shaiba. At each of them there were two shifts of members of self-defense units of 25-30 people each. They inspected all cars entering the city to prevent possible provocations and terrorist attacks.
Over the past month, through the efforts of members of self-defense units, three attempts to import weapons into the city and one attempt to transport explosives (in a volume corresponding to 400 kilograms of TNT) were stopped.
