Weapons Depot at the Airport: How Safe Is Mallorca Really?

Answer

Why are people in Mallorca concerned about ammunition being stored at the airport?

The main concern is not only the depot itself, but what may be kept inside it. If ammunition for drone systems or other military equipment is stored near tourist areas and residential neighbourhoods, many people feel the risk is harder to judge without full information. In Mallorca, that uncertainty has become part of the debate as much as the construction work itself.
