Sensitive defence documents containing details about the British military have been found at a bus stop in England

As reported by the BBC, the papers included plans for a possible UK military presence in Afghanistan, as well as discussion about the potential Russian reaction to the British warship HMS Defender’s travel through waters off the Crimean coast last week.

The BBC stated live on air that a member of the public who wanted to remain unnamed contacted the media firm when they found the pile of documents — about 50 pages in all — behind a bus stop in Kent, southeast of London.

The Ministry of Defence says an employee had reported the loss of the documents last week

It did not provide details about the incident or confirm the documents were found at a bus stop.

“The Ministry of Defence was informed last week of an incident in which sensitive defence papers were recovered by a member of the public,”
The Ministry said in a statement, which was also posted to Twitter.
