Classified U.K. defense papers found at bus stop, report says
LA TimesBritish destroyer HMS Defender arrives at the port of Batumi, Georgia, on June 26 after traveling through waters off Crimea. Sensitive defense documents containing details about the British military have been found at a bus stop in England, the BBC reported Sunday. The papers included plans for a possible U.K. military presence in Afghanistan, as well as discussion about the potential Russian reaction to the British warship HMS Defender’s travel through waters off Crimea last week, the BBC said. “It would be inappropriate to comment further.” The HMS Defender upset Russia’s military on Wednesday when it sailed south of the Crimean Peninsula in a Black Sea area that Moscow claims as its territorial waters. The U.K.’s Ministry of Defense said the ship was “conducting innocent passage through Ukrainian territorial waters in accordance with international law.”
