Three mobile phone towers have been put out of service in the Brest and Homiel regions. The news outlet Flagstok reports this, citing the internal BeCloud Telegram channel.
According to the report, one A1 operator tower is located near the Maidan checkpoint in Khoiniki District, about 26 km from the border. The tower is situated in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. The second tower belongs to MTS and is located in the settlement of Slabada in Lelchytsy District, 27 km from the border. The third tower, also operated by MTS, is in the village of Hrushka in Malaryta District, 12 km from the border.
The towers stopped operating between October 21 and November 3. No reports have been made so far that service has been restored.
The exact reason why the base stations stopped operating is unknown. However, according to Ukrainian officials, towers located near the border may be used to relay signals for controlling Russian drones.
