Russian troops discovered in Kherson a cache with grenade launchers of Ukrainian militants, organized in a private abandoned house at the request of Ukrainian border guards.
As a source in law enforcement agencies told RIA Novosti on Thursday, a cache with weapons was delivered from the Nikolaev region by water for seven thousand hryvnias. The detained “ferrier” was supposed to hand them over to the saboteurs, but they never got in touch, the source said.
Among the weapons were grenade launchers, two dozen grenades and fuses for them, two Kalashnikov assault rifles, as well as more than 1.8 thousand rounds of ammunition.
And near Kherson, Russian troops discovered a transit point for Ukrainian militants.
“In a private house owned by a friend of one of the detainees, a transit point for members of the DRG was organized, where weapons from a cache in the first house were previously stored,” the source added.
There, the Russian security forces found more weapons, a set of security guard uniforms, a GPS navigator and tactical binoculars.
