National Guard Officials Held Responsible for Missing Explosives

Responsibility appears to be assigned to officials of the National Guard regarding the disappearance of 13.6kg of explosives from a firing range. According to information from Cyprus Times, the Minister of Defence, Vasilis Palmas, has instructed a full investigation into the matter.

The internal investigation focuses on the time of training, where inaction and inadequate supervision were noted. The report records responsibilities for specific National Guard officials. Mr. Palmas expressed dissatisfaction and requested accountability.

The most likely scenario is the theft of the explosives. Police are conducting investigations, but nothing has been found so far. The possibility that the explosives were stolen by individuals collecting items or to be passed on to underworld figures is being examined.
