Police in the Kuzbass town of Yurga found 200 boxes of artillery shells and explosives in a nearby forest, a law enforcement source said on Wednesday.
Yurga has a military training ground where ammunition disposal is carried out, but the local authorities could not say whether the shells came from the site.
“Almost 600 rounds [were found there]. You could load a truck with these boxes. It is still unknown why they were kept there,” a local authority source said.
“A small forest fire in this place would be enough to set off a powerful explosion,” the Kuzbass authorities later said.
The ammunition was handed over to a military engineering unit for disposal.

Earlier Tuesday the 43rd president told ABC News "I'm for Mitt Romney," as the doors of an elevator he was on closed before him.

The remark was the first public support from the former president, whose father, former President George H.W. Bush and mother, Barbara endorsed the presumptive GOP nominee in March.

Bush's younger brother, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, endorsed Romney in March.

The ideas which emerged 350 years ago shaped our democracy, civil liberties and constitution. They also create a cultural divide that influences how we live, what we wear and even what we eat and drink. Individuals usually identify with one tribe or the other, but sometimes they need some elements of the enemy's identity - David Cameron seeks a dash of the down-to-earth Roundhead, while Ed Miliband looks for some Cavalier charisma.

Repsol YPF SA (REP), the Spanish oil explorer seeking $10.5 billion from Argentina for seizing its assets, will line up behind companies from Exxon Mobil Corp. to Unisys Corp. (UIS) yet to be repaid by the most-sued nation on earth.
There are 26 cases pending against Argentina, more than any other country, at the World Bank’s International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes in Washington, the principal arbitration court for claims against sovereign countries. So far, it has refused to pay any of the tribunal’s judgments, according to a Bank of America Merrill Lynch economists’ report.

Chavez’s government has negotiated compensation for some nationalized assets with steelmaker Ternium SA (TX) and settled out of the ICSID with Mexican cement maker Cemex SAB for $600 million, about half of what the company was seeking in arbitration, for seizing its local unit in 2008.
“It’s much easier to deal with Chavez. He has actually paid fair compensation to those he expropriated and has honored all of his country’s debts,” said Porzecanski. “His attitude has been much more respectful of international treaties and even domestic law than that of the Kirchners,” he said, referring also to Fernandez’s deceased husband and former Argentine president, Nestor Kirchner
