Cobasna

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

Cobasna (Romanian; Ukrainian and Russian: Колбасна, Kolbasna) is a commune consisting of three villages - Cobasna, Suhaia Rîbniţa (Сухая Рыбница), and Cobasna station - situated in northern Transnistria, Moldova. It is controlled by the authorities of Transnistria. It is located 2 km from the Ukrainian border, in the Rîbniţa sub-district. Cobasna is the site of a Russian, and formerly Soviet ammunition depot, one of the largest of the kind in Europe.

The majority of the original ammunition has either disappeared or has been removed from Cobasna under OSCE supervision. Military equipment which was unpractical to remove has undergone on-site destruction as per Moldovan demands that the "weapons dump" of Transnistria be removed.^{[citation needed]} Transnistrian sources claim that the U.S. State Department recognizes that the process of removal of Russian munitions and equipment has been carried out with efficiency during 2003.

Today, around 22,000 tons of military equipment and ammunition remain there, guarded by Russian troops.^{[citation needed]}
