munitions dump

Military explosives depot

A munitions dump is a military storage site for weapons, ammunition, and explosives.

The term emphasizes the large, often temporary nature of such stockpiles: Enemy aircraft targeted the munitions dump.

In wartime, destroying an enemy's munitions dump can cripple their fighting capacity.
