A US airman accused of leaking classified defence documents online has been indicted by a federal grand jury in the state of Massachusetts.

Jack Teixeira, 21, faces six counts of retaining and transmitting classified information on a gaming website.

He was arrested at his Massachusetts home in April but was not formally charged until Thursday. He remains in custody pending his trial.

The young Air National Guardsman faces decades in prison if convicted.

Mr Teixeira stands accused of leaking dozens of files online, including sensitive documents about US allies and military operations abroad.

The documents include US assessments of the war in Ukraine as well as sensitive secrets about American allies including Egypt, South Korea and the UAE.
