A warning in the US Congress about a “serious national security threat” causes concern in Washington. The chairman of the House intelligence committee, Mike Turner, has called for declassifying the information to ‘openly address the actions necessary to respond to the threat’ Other MPs have warned that it is not necessary to lose calm.

Several US media outlets claim that the intelligence has to do with Russia’s interest in placing a nuclear weapon in space. The New York Times points out that this technology “is still under development and Russia has not deployed it”
