Classified UK defence ministry documents found at bus stop

The sensitive files contained details outlining the movements of a warship that led to Russia firing warning shots off the Crimean coast

Britain’s government is investigating how secret defence documents, outlining the movements of a warship that led to Russia firing warning shots off the Crimean coast, were found at a bus stop in England. The Ministry of Defence (MoD) said on Sunday that an employee reported lost documents last week and that an investigation had been launched. “It shouldn’t be able to happen,” Brandon Lewis, minister for Northern Ireland, told Sky News. “It was properly reported at the time … there’s an internal investigation into that situation.”
