Eight Weapons Containers Found Near Ukrainian Border in Poland Under Investigation

Polish authorities have discovered containers with air defense systems and weapons intended for Ukraine stored in an unsecured warehouse near the Polish-Ukrainian border, sparking an ongoing investigation. The weapons, including missile launchers and possibly man-portable air-defense systems, were owned by a private company licensed to trade arms but failed to be delivered to Ukraine for reasons that remain unclear. The site, located in the Subcarpathian region near the village of Laszki, was initially guarded but later left largely unsupervised, raising concerns about the mishandling and illegal storage of these military assets. Polish officials confirmed that the equipment does not belong to the Polish military but emphasized the seriousness of the oversight given Poland's role as a key transit corridor for supplies to Ukraine since 2022. The case is being handled by Poland's Central Bureau of Investigation and the district prosecutor’s office to determine accountability and secure the weapons. This incident highlights vulnerabilities in the supply chain of military aid to Ukraine amid ongoing regional security challenges.
