Who does it allegedly belong to?

According to police sources, Yafka allegedly belongs to a terrorist organization that has been dismantled or deactivated. “It was locked in a very strange way, not like ours,” said a resident of the apartment building.

In 2019, unknown persons had broken into all the warehouses of the apartment building, except for the one that hid the heavy weaponry. Police have collected fingerprints and genetic material in an attempt to identify its owners.
