The US has strongly condemned a Russian anti-satellite test, calling it "a reckless and dangerous act" and added that it "won't tolerate" behaviour that puts the national interests of several countries at risk.
US State Department spokesperson Ned Price said the test "will significantly increase the risk to astronauts and cosmonauts on the International Space Station, as well as to other human spaceflight activities," adding that "Russia's dangerous and irresponsible behavior jeopardises the long-term sustainability of outer space and clearly demonstrates that Russia's claims of opposing the weapons and weaponisation of space are disingenuous and hypocritical."
Mr Price said the US would consult with allies and partners on a response, adding that the test on Monday generated "hundreds of thousands" of pieces of orbital debris.
