noun
Refers to the location where someone (often a fugitive or person in hiding) is staying concealed. Commonly used in news reports about criminals or missing persons.

彼の潜伏先はまだわかっていない。

アジト (from Russian 'agitpunkt') is a slangy term for a hideout or base of operations, often used for criminal or underground groups. 潜伏先 is more formal and neutral.
Compound of 潜伏 (せんぷく, 'hiding, lying low') and 先 (さき, 'destination, place'). The reading さき is a standard kun'yomi for 先 when used as a suffix indicating a location.
