Romanian officials have reassured¹ the public after the theft of more than 60 missile warheads from a train.

罗马尼亚60多枚导弹弹头在一列火车上被偷走，官员再次请公众安心。

The shipment, bound for a factory in Bulgaria, was under police guard
The warheads were taken from a railway car carrying military equipment to neighbouring Bulgaria on Saturday.

Officials said the stolen warheads could not be detonated because they were in component² form without explosives.

Investigators³ say the missiles could have been stolen for their scrap⁴ metal（废金属） value.

Romanian media said when the freight train stopped in Giurgiu, southern Romania, it was found that doors on the railway car had been forced and four boxes of 16 warheads stolen.

Officials are investigating how the theft could have happened while the consignment⁵（委托，运送） was being guarded by paramilitary police.

Bulgaria's economy ministry⁶ said the warheads belonged to Grad missiles which are normally fired from multiple-rocket launchers.

In a statement it said the shipment was part of a transfer of "nonfunctional components⁷ and parts" for reprocessing at the VMZ factory - one of Bulgaria's largest military factories - in Sopot.

Romanian officials close to the investigation⁸ told two daily newspapers that the warheads did not contain explosives.

Romanian police spokesman Florin Hulea also reassured the public, saying the warheads posed no risk.
