The scandal comes as Poland pushes for a further military buildup in response to what it describes as a threat from Russia<\/strong><\/p>\n Hundreds of pages of sensitive Polish military documents, including secret papers pertaining to weapons, evacuations, and warehouse blueprints, were found dumped at a landfill, according to an investigation published by the news outlet Onet on Thursday.<\/p>\n The scandal surfaced just over a month after Warsaw pledged to outspend all other NATO states, allocating 4.8% of GDP to its army next year. EU governments have increasingly pushed for military buildups, citing an alleged threat from Russia – claims that Moscow has dismissed.<\/p>\n The Polish military denied the report, instead accusing the outlet of holding unauthorized copies of the documents, and insisting the originals were properly archived or destroyed, Onet wrote.<\/p>\n According to the outlet, an individual handed over the documents after finding them in torn plastic bags at a landfill. While some of the documents were shredded, many were intact and marked “restricted,”<\/em> it wrote.<\/p>\n \n Read more<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The leak is “a scandal”<\/em> the level of “an atomic bomb,”<\/em> Onet cited former commander of the Eurocorps, Lieutenant General Jaroslaw Gromadzinski, as saying.<\/p>\n Another official, who was granted anonymity, reportedly said that dumping such documents represents gross negligence and “a real threat.”<\/em><\/p>\n The reported incident comes less than a year after another major scandal in the Polish military.<\/p>\n In January, the Polish Defense Ministry lost track of 240 anti-tank mines, which were eventually found near an IKEA warehouse. A general was later dismissed as a result.<\/p>\n
