Spot Report 39/2020: SMM camera near government-controlled Berezove disconnected from its power supplyBased on information from the Monitoring Teams as of 19:30 15 September 2020. All times are in Eastern European Summer Time. At 10:20 on 15 September, during a scheduled maintenance of its camera system located near Berezove (government-controlled, 31km south-west of Donetsk), the SMM saw that the power cable located in the meter box that provided the camera with electricity was disconnected and that the system was operating on a backup power supply.
The Mission saw that the camera system did not have any damage and was operational but two power wires had been unscrewed from the main fuse. The Mission reconnected the power supply and re-sealed the meter box.
The power meter box of the camera system is located about 200m south-west of a checkpoint of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Berezove, while the camera system is located about 1.7km north-east of Berezove and about 1.7km south-west of another checkpoint of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
The camera system consists of both daylight and thermal cameras, covering the areas south-east and north-east from its location and can register ceasefire violations and other relevant observations on both sides of the contact line.
