Russia developing ‘troubling’ new anti-satellite weapon, says U.S.

(BBC News) Russia is developing a “troubling” new anti-satellite weapon, the US has said, but it emphasized that Moscow has yet to deploy it.

White House spokesperson John Kirby made the comments a day after a senior House Republican issued vague warnings of a “serious national security threat.”

The weapon is space-based and armed with a nuclear weapon to target satellites, CBS News reported.

But Kirby did not confirm this and refused to offer precise details on the threat on Thursday.

Moscow accused the US of using claims of new Russian weapons as a ruse to force Congress to pass additional Ukraine aid by “hook or by crook”.
