Peace be upon you.
Ayatollah Khamenei (may Allah preserve him):
If the person looked with the intention of ejaculation or knew that looking at something foreign would lead to that, and they deliberately looked and ejaculated, then they must make up the fast and pay a compensatory penalty.

Ayatollah Sistani (may Allah preserve him):
If you were confident that no ejaculation would occur while watching, and ejaculation happened without you doing anything (like using your hand), then your fast is not invalidated. However, if you suspected that ejaculation might occur and were not sure it wouldn't, and then ejaculation happened, your fast is invalidated, and you must make it up without a compensatory penalty.
