Polish lost landmines found in Ikea warehouse

An anti-tank mine lost by the Polish military during transportation was found in an IKEA warehouse at a furniture store, local foreign media said.

According to Polish media TVP, Poland's Ministry of Defense dismissed Artur Kengwczynski, head of the support inspector, from his position on the 9th local time, claiming responsibility for the mine loss.

The incident occurred in July last year when it carried 1,000 tons of equipment, including anti-tank landmines, from Hainoufka near the Belarusian border to Mosty, the Baltic coast.Authorities in the

military have launched an investigation after confirming that five pedestals loaded with landmines have disappeared from the train that has completed transportation work.

The 240 lost landmines were collected a few days later from an Ikea warehouse in Orla, a city near Hainoufka.

Polish media believe landmines that have not been unloaded at their destinations have traveled from place to place in the country with trains on them.

Foreign media reported that the prosecution is investigating four incumbent soldiers on charges of job abandonment and could face up to five years in prison.
