Thai police are investigating after military-grade weapons are found at the home of a Chinese man near Pattaya, a beach resort area in Thailand, authorities said. Local police say they are looking into the “security implications” of the cache. Reports describe the discovery of two M16 assault rifles and hundreds of rounds of ammunition. Authorities also say explosives were found at the property, including nearly five kilograms of explosives, along with grenades and other explosive-related items. In addition, Russian landmines and anti-personnel mines were reported among the materials seized, as well as projectiles and gasoline. Police have not publicly detailed what prompted the search or the circumstances of how the items were stored at the home. Investigators are now assessing the weapons and explosive substances and reviewing potential connections to any wider threat or illegal trafficking. The case remains under investigation, with authorities focusing on both the origin and intended use of the items recovered.
