Breaking

The Pentagon conducted polygraph examinations in August of approximately 50 officers and civilian employees working in combined US military headquarters as part of an investigation into suspected leaks of sensitive information to media outlets.

The leaked information included details regarding declining US ammunition stockpiles, including Patriot interceptors and long-range missiles, according to reports citing the New York Times.

A Pentagon spokesperson stated the department does not comment on internal investigations, though the scale of the polygraph testing indicates a significant security breach inquiry.
