German authorities are investigating a suspected Russian connection to a cache of guns discovered in woodland last year, according to reports. The inquiry centres on whether the weapons were intended for assassinations carried out on behalf of Moscow.
German intelligence is said to believe the firearms were linked to an operation serving Russian interests. The available information does not specify how many weapons were found, where in Germany the discovery took place or whether any arrests have been made.
The investigation follows the discovery of the cache and is examining its possible purpose and connections. The reports do not provide details of the suspected targets, the identity of those who may have stored the guns or the evidence underpinning the intelligence assessment.
No further official findings or conclusions are included in the available material. The investigation remains ongoing, with the alleged Russian link and intended use of the weapons still under examination.
