🇬🇧 BBC has published excerpts from classified Department of Defense documents detailing the HMS Defender and the British Armed Forces were found at a bus stop in Kent

One set of documents discusses 🇷🇺 Russia's likely reaction to the ship's passage through 🇺🇦 Ukrainian waters off the coast of Crimea on Wednesday.

Another detailed plan for a possible UK military presence in 🇦🇫 Afghanistan after the end of the US-led NATO operation there.

The government announced that an investigation was underway.

A member of the public, who asked not to be identified, contacted the BBC when he realized the sensitive nature of the content.

The BBC believes the documents, including emails and PowerPoint presentations, originate from the office of a senior Department of Defense (DoD) official.
