JAKARTA - The British government carried out negligence. A series of electronic mail containing confidential information was sent to Mali.
Mali itself is a close ally of Russia. This forced the British Ministry of Defense to launch an internal investigation.
The electronic letters were actually addressed to the United States military, which uses the domain name ".mil".
However, the letter "i" was not sparked by the officers and finally the messages were sent to the domain of "ml" alias Mali, a country in the West African region.
British mass media reported that the emails contained no information that could jeopardize Britain's security operations.
Mali is a strong ally of Moscow. The mercenaries of the Russian group, the Wagner Group, joined Mali in fighting rebel groups in the country.
The email missubmission incident came two weeks after several US officials confirmed reports that over the years millions of sensitive US military emails were apparently sent to Mali. The cause is the same: a typo, Anadolu reported via Antara.

The accidental leak has led to very sensitive information, including diplomatic documents, tax reports, passwords, and travel details of high-ranking officials, open.
The email misdelivery also continues despite a series of warnings for a decade.
The incident of sending the wrong email was first reported by Dutch internet entrepreneur Johannes Zuurbier, who manages the domain of Mali's country.
Zuurbier once told the Financial Times newspaper that since January this year he has collected nearly 117,000 emailed wrongly from the US Department of Defense.
That number, he said, appeared more in previous years.
