Thieves stole thousands of rounds from a delivery truck bound for a Bundeswehr barracks in Burg, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany.
The theft occurred on the night of November 25, and the following morning the barracks discovered missing rounds in the delivery.
Authorities say about 10,000 rounds for pistols and 9,900 rounds for training ammunition were taken.
The Defense Ministry said the theft is being taken very seriously and that the ammunition must not fall into the wrong hands.
Security lapses were cited as the delivery driver stopped for the night without adequate security, with two drivers normally present.
Authorities are investigating potential culprits and consider the possibility it was not a random robbery.
The case adds to a pattern of recent missing ammunition incidents in Saxony-Anhalt.
German media and official channels are coordinating to verify details of the shipment and the theft.
The incident prompts scrutiny of security protocols for military cargo transport in Germany.
Investigations involve local police and Bundeswehr oversight to identify suspects.
