Officials apparently became aware of the problem when the weapons were found sitting in the IKEA warehouse, at which point someone called the military to ask “when they would collect their mines.”

From the article:

According to the reports, soldiers failed to unload part of the train carrying over 1,000 tons of explosives in total, and the anti-tank mines continued to circulate around the country before they went missing.

Maybe Ikea needed the space to transport something, so they unloaded everything forgotten on the train.

Militaries surprisingly frequently loose weapons around the world:

Or they just wanted to support SCP-3008, but accidentally sent to a normal ikea ;)
