The officers of the Security Service of Ukraine found a cache with explosives and military weapons in Donetsk region, which representatives of the so-called “Ministry of State Security of DPR” planned to use to carry out terrorist attacks on the peaceful territory of the country.

The arsenal was set up in an abandoned estate on the outskirts of Maryinka in the gray zone. Allegedly, it was equipped by a representative of the "power block" of terrorists in his former house. He planned to use the weapons in order to destabilize the situation in peaceful Ukrainian cities. In the cache the law enforcement officers found more than 5 kilograms of trotyl, 3 kilograms of plastid, 3 hand-held anti-tank grenade launchers, TM 62 M anti-tank mine, 3 MON-50 antipersonnel fragmentation mines, 12 hand grenades with RGD-5 fuses, 16 RGO hand-held anti-personnel defensive shock-distance grenades, 3 electric detonators, a Mosin's rifle with a telescopic sight and more than a thousand cartridges of 5.45 caliber.

The seized weapons were sent for examination. The investigation is ongoing, the sources of weapons and explosives and the circumstances of preparation for subversive activities are being established.
