munitions depot

Military storage facility

A munitions depot is a military facility where weapons, ammunition, explosives, and related combat supplies are stored and distributed.

These installations require heavy security and are typically located away from civilian populations due to the dangerous nature of their contents.

The bombing raid targeted the enemy's main munitions depot.

The term combines munitions (military weapons and ammunition) with depot (a storage or distribution center).
