Pentagon Warns Apparent Leak of Secret US Documents Poses ‘Serious’ National Security Risk

Editorial Team Published April 11, 2023

The US government is investigating a recent leak of highly sensitive documents related to the conflict in Ukraine, which officials say poses a “very serious” risk to national security. The documents, many of which are related to the war in Ukraine and sensitive analyses of US allies, have been circulating online for several days, with some appearing to have been altered.

According to Chris Meagher, the assistant to the secretary of defence for public affairs, the leaked documents could “spread disinformation” and have “tremendous implications” for national security. The US government is currently investigating how the information was distributed and to whom, and is taking steps to have the documents removed from online sites.

Many of the documents are no longer available on the sites where they first appeared, and US officials have been in touch with Washington’s international allies about the issue. Relevant congressional committees have also been informed.

The leak includes secret information on the war in Ukraine, such as one document providing information on the country’s air defences, and others on international efforts to build up its military forces. However, others point to US surveillance of its allies, such as one that states that leaders of Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency advocated for domestic protests against a controversial judicial reform plan.

Meagher declined to comment on whether the documents are genuine, but images circulating online show documents similar in format to those used to provide daily updates to senior leaders on Ukraine and Russia-related operations, as well as other intelligence updates.

The release of such sensitive information could have significant consequences, including putting US intelligence sources at risk and giving valuable information to the country’s adversaries. It remains unclear who is responsible for the leak and how the information was obtained.

The US government is assessing the authenticity of the documents and investigating the breach, but the fallout from the apparent leak could be significant, potentially putting US intelligence sources at risk and giving the country’s foes valuable information. As the investigation continues, officials are urging caution and vigilance in handling sensitive information.
