German authorities are investigating a cache of handguns and ammunition found in a forest near Berlin last year. Multiple outlets report that the weapons were discovered by German security services and are believed to have been stored for a specific operational purpose.
According to reporting cited by outlets, investigators suspect the cache was linked to Russian intelligence and may have been intended to support assassinations. The findings are described as involving handguns and ammunition, though details about numbers, specific firearms, and the broader investigative timeline are not included in the provided summaries.
The different reports largely align on the core elements: the location near Berlin, the timing of the discovery, the items found, and the suspected association with Russian intelligence. One outlet also notes that the Russian embassy does not immediately respond to a request for comment. Deutsche Welle frames the matter as an investigation into the arms cache, reflecting the ongoing nature of the inquiry rather than confirmed outcomes.
Authorities have not publicly settled all aspects of the case in the material provided, and the investigation remains a developing story.
