Classified Ministry of Defence documents: Bust Stop, Kent
 

[Classified Ministry of Defence documents
containing details about HMS Defender
and the British military have been found at a bus stop in Kent.
One set of documents discusses the likely
Russian reaction to the ship's passage
through Ukrainian waters off the
Crimea coast on Wednesday.
Another details plans for a possible
UK military presence in Afghanistan
after the US-led Nato operation there ends.
The government said an investigation had been launched.

A Ministry of Defence spokesperson said
an employee had reported the
loss of sensitive defence papers,
adding: "It would be inappropriate to comment further."

The documents, almost 50 pages in all,
were found in a soggy heap behind a
bus stop in Kent early on Tuesday morning.

A member of the public, who wishes
to remain anonymous, contacted
the BBC when he realised the sensitive nature of the contents.

The BBC believes the documents, which include
emails and PowerPoint presentations,
originated in the office of a senior official
at the Ministry of Defence (MoD).

The documents relating to the
Royal Navy's Type 45 destroyer,
HMS Defender, show that a mission
described by the MoD as an
"innocent passage through
Ukrainian territorial waters",
with guns covered and the ship's helicopter
stowed in its hangar, was conducted
in the expectation that Russia might
respond aggressively.]
