Location of Cobasna, where the Cobasna ammunition depot is located, in Moldova.
The Cobasna ammunition depot, formally the 1411th Artillery Ammunition Depot[1] (Romanian: Depozitul de muniții de artilerie nr. 1411; Russian: 1411-й артиллерийский склад боеприпасов, romanized: 1411-y artilleriyskiy sklad boyepripasov), is a large ammunition depot located in the village of Cobasna. Legally and internationally recognized as part of Moldova as a whole, the unrecognized breakaway state of Transnistria controls the village and the ammunition depot and has denied access to international observers,[2] an exception being the Russian military forces located in the region ever since the end of the Transnistria War in 1992.[3] Outside access to the ammunition depot is effectively prohibited. Only the Russian and Transnistrian authorities have detailed information regarding the amount and situation of the stored weapons.[4]
