The mishap only came to light when the military was called to ask when they would collect their mines from an IKEA warehouse.

Summary

Polish Defense Minister dismissed Maj. Gen. Artur Kępczyński, head of the Support Inspectorate, following the discovery of missing anti-tank mines in an IKEA warehouse.

Reports suggest Kępczyński concealed the mishap, which occurred in June 2024 when soldiers failed to unload a train carrying explosives.

False documentation masked the missing mines until IKEA contacted the military to retrieve them.

The defense ministry did not specify reasons for the dismissal, but an investigation is ongoing.

    Reports indicate several members of an organization only identified as SCP were present during the discovery. Previously leaked documents indicate that SCP-3008 is one of this organization’s “entities” that manifest as a normal looking IKEA, however the individuals that enter are rarely seen to leave. Drone footage and interviews with survivors indicate the presence of “Staff” that are violent and deadly when the stores hours are over. It is currently unknown if the General had a previous relationship with SCP-3008 or anyone that had entered it. One knowledgeable individual interviewed, on conditions of anonymity, stated that “Staff are vulnerable like any other living thing, but mines are a terrible way to go about dealing with them - Staff are alerted to the presence of staff body parts and corpses, using mines would be a foolish endeavor as cleanup in that aisle would be excessive.” Person’s identified as potentially related to the SCP Foundation declined to comment.
