Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Lofven announced a cabinet reshuffle on Thursday following a political scandal over huge leak of sensitive data.
Two Swedish ministers, including Interior Minister Anders Ygeman, reportedly failed to report the leak to the premier and will leave the minority left-green government, Lofven told reporters, adding that Infrastructure Minister Anna Johansson will also be replaced.
Sweden's minority government has been battling to contain the scandal after a massive leak that may have made confidential military information accessible abroad, as well as the private data of millions of citizens.
