BERLIN – The Swiss military has opened an investigation after discovering that “several kilograms” of explosives were missing from an infantry training school.

The defence ministry said in a statement Monday that the shortfall was discovered during a check of ammunition boxes last week at the school in the northern city of Aarau.
