Hidden pistols found near Berlin linked to alleged Russian intelligence assassination plans

German security authorities have uncovered a weapons cache in a wooded area near Berlin, containing two hidden pistols. German media reported the find on Friday, indicating the firearms were most likely prepared for use by Russian agents.

Possible link to intelligence services

According to available information, the discovery is being connected to suspected plans by Russian intelligence services to carry out assassinations. Further details about how the weapons ended up in the hiding place, or their intended specific use, have not yet been disclosed.

German security services are continuing their investigation to determine who was responsible for concealing the weapons and whether the case is linked to a broader network operating on German territory in Russia's interests.

The case adds to a series of other incidents across Europe in recent years where suspicions of Russian influence and intelligence operations have grown, though specific details of this particular event remain limited for now.
