UK MoD Error Sends Emails to Russia’s Ally Instead of US

The UK’s Ministry of Defence (MoD) is launching an investigation after a typing error reportedly led to classified emails being sent to a close ally of Russia instead of the intended recipients. The emails were meant for the US military, identifiable by the domain “.mil.” However, due to a simple mistake omitting the letter “i,” the messages were routed to the West African nation of Mali, known for its ties with Russia.
