    In June 2024, a train carrying more than 1,000 tons of explosives was improperly unloaded by Polish troops, the report said, who mistakenly left the anti-tank mines to continue their rail-bound journey around the country until they were eventually offloaded in the furniture behemoth’s warehouse.

    Kępczyński, meanwhile, reportedly kept the mishap from his superiors while furnishing subsequent supply reports that featured false numbers.

    That approach appeared to have worked — at least until an Ikea warehouse representative telephoned military officials and inquired about “when they would collect their mines,” according to one report.

    That’s almost funnier than these comments

      Cackling at this.

      Ah a typical government employee. Something goes wrong, do you:

      1. Immediately send someone to fix the shipment and get the stuff back
      2. Falsify reports to hide the fact that any mistake happened

      I had a good chuckle at this. It just seems like IKEA were politely waiting for the mines to be dealt with .
