INGUSHETIA, 20 January, Caucasus Times – Another arms and ammunition cache was found during investigative measures on the administrative border with Chechnya in Ingushetia’s Sunzhenskiy District on 19 January, the Ingush Interior Ministry has told The Caucasus
Times.

According to the staff of the Sunzhenskiy District Department of Internal Affairs, who carried out the operation to seize the weapons, the munitions were buried under the ground several metres from the border with the Chechen village of Sernovodskaya. Six projectiles to a grenade-thrower, four land mines, 15 kg of ammoniac saltpetre, two TNT charges weighing 200 grams each, 3 kg of home-made explosives, batteries to a Kenwood walkie-talkie, 10 kg pieces of metal cables, masks and four sets of camouflage clothing were found in the cache.

According to the detectives, the contents of the cache are a standard military set used by bandits for committing acts of terrorism. “Along with that, we do not rule out that this is a secret base of criminals operating on Ingush territory under the guise of employees of the law-enforcement agencies,” a staff member of the Sunzhenskiy District Department of Internal Affairs believes. “At present, our members of staff are taking measures to establish and detain those who could own this cache,” he said.

The “Free Eurasia” project is an independent media platform based in Prague, with an ambitious mission to provide the regions of Central Asia and the Caucasus with high-quality, objective and timely information in their national languages. We unite the expertise of editors and journalists working in Tajik, Uzbek, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Circassian, Avar and Russian to break the monopoly of state-run Russian-language media and amplify the voices of local communities. Direction Our work focuses on comprehensive coverage of social, political, economic and cultural developments in Central Asia and the Caucasus, as well as the issues facing diasporas in Russia, Turkey, China and other countries. We produce news, analytical articles, video reports, podcasts, interviews and journalistic investigations. Special attention is paid to topics rarely addressed by state media: human rights violations, corruption, ethnic and cultural identity, migration and international relations. We strive to engage audiences of all ages, with a particular emphasis on young people and residents of remote regions, offering them digital content in their native languages. Goal Our main goal is to promote the development and sustainability of independent media in Central Asia and the Caucasus. We aim to strengthen the region’s informational sovereignty by expanding access to truthful sources and raising media literacy. At the same time, we support the development of national languages as key elements of identity and cultural heritage, encouraging public discussion and engagement. The project seeks to become a catalyst for building a strong civil society and defending democratic values, helping to train new professional journalists and fostering international cooperation.
