The police investigative team and explosive experts recovered nine ammunition boxes and 25 corroded rifle parts from the location. Police officials added that authorities are currently determining the disposal procedure for the discovered weapons and ammunition.
The ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war has also increased modern ammunition findings.
