The US made a similar error last week, sending millions of military emails to Mali.An MoD spokesman said: "We have opened an investigation after a small number of emails were mistakenly forwarded to an incorrect email domain.
"We are confident they did not contain any information that could compromise operational security or technical data.UN secretary-general 'deeply disappointed' by Russia's decision on Ukraine food production "The MoD constantly reviews its processes and is currently undertaking a programme of work to improve information management, data loss prevention, and the control of sensitive information."
The emails mistakenly sent to Mali by the US are believed to contain sensitive information, including the passwords, medical records and itineraries of senior officers. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said earlier this week that Mali's defence minister, air force chief and deputy chief of staff wouldcome under sanctions for helping Wagner operate in their country.
