Russia launched a weapon into space which may be capable of attacking others, the US has said.
The Kremlin sent the satellite – called Cosmos 2576 – into low Earth orbit which the Pentagon has said is likely capable of launching attacks against their own.
Brigadier General Pat Ryder said it is the same orbit as the US government satellite USA 314, adding the country is ‘on stand-by’ to protect its interests.
