Kosovo Police uncovered a substantial cache of weapons and military equipment buried in three plastic barrels in a yard near a private residence in the heart of Zvečan. The discovery, confirmed by police, includes automatic rifles, grenades, ammunition, and military uniforms, all reportedly buried underground.
