US decision maker warning of a national security threat related to Russia's efforts to develop an anti-satellite weapon, the White House confirms.
Representative of the US National Security Council John Kirby emphasized that there is no immediate threat to anyone's safety.
House of Representatives Chairman of the Intelligence Committee Mike Turner gave on Wednesday an extraordinary statement about a serious national security threat.
However, Turner, a Republican representative at the time, was not willing to comment further on the matter.
US media previously reported that the warning was related to Russia's desire to have a nuclear weapon in space. However, according to media sources, the weapon was not supposed to be used against targets on the ground, but possibly against satellites.
