Commercial satel­lite imagery showed a small “pos­sible struc­ture” at Bajo de Masin­loc (Scar­bor­ough Shoal), accord­ing to ana­lysis released by US- based mari­time trans­par­ency ini­ti­at­ive SeaLight, rais­ing fresh ques­tions over pos­sible new activ­ity in the con­tested area. SeaLight said it obtained com­mer­cial satel­lite imagery cap­tured on May 28, 2026, via part­ners at the Satel­lo­gic plat­form, accessed through the Sky­fiApp. The imagery showed the south­ern entrance to the lagoon of Bajo de Masin­loc, where a small reflect­ive object is vis­ible on the reef flat near the entrance chan­nel.
