Martsenyuk added that the security perimeter of ammunition depots should have 24/7 video surveillance with towers, guards, and patrols.

"We also pin great hope on our unified monitoring center, from where we can conduct round-the-clock centralized monitoring of all facilities. Now the centralized monitoring system has already been launched in test mode for part of ammunition depots," he added.
