The New York Times reports that the FBI has arrested a 21-year-old member of the Massachusetts Air National Guard on Thursday in connection with the leak of dozens of highly classified documents containing an array of national security secrets, including the breadth of surveillance.

The United States is able to conduct on Russia.

Airman first-class Jack Douglas Tashera was taken into custody to face charges of leaking classified documents after federal authorities said he had posted batches of sensitive intelligence to an online gaming chat group called the Thugshaker Central.

In Washington, Attorney General Merrick Garland, in a brief statement, announced the arrest and said Airman Tashera would be arraigned at the Federal District Court in Massachusetts.

Mr. Garland said he was arrested in connection with the unauthorized removal, retention, and transmission of classified national defense information, a reference to the Espionage Act, which is used to prosecute the mishandling in theft of sensitive intelligence.

The test was detected on Thursday by South Korea in Japan, which briefly ordered residents on its northern island of Hokkaida to evacuate.

The event was supervised by Kim, who was accompanied by his wife, young daughter, and powerful sister Kim Yo-jung.

A new type of intercontinental ballistic missile was test-fired on Thursday, as the key means of strategic military force, the official Korean Central News Agency said, describing the test as a miraculous success.
