Sensitive defense documents containing details about the British military have been found at a bus stop in England, according to a BBC report released Sunday.
The papers reportedly 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 the Crimean coast last week.
The broadcaster said a member of the public who wanted to remain unnamed contacted it when they found the pile of documents in a soggy heap Tuesday behind a bus stop in Kent, southeast of London.
The Ministry of Defense said an employee had reported the loss of the documents last week.
It said in a statement that the department takes the security of information extremely seriously and an investigation has been launched.
