Reports have emerged that the United States has told Congress and allies in Europe about new intelligence related to Russia’s latest offensive capability that could pose an international threat.
The intelligence came to light after Representative Mike Turner, Republican chair of the U.S. House of Representatives intelligence committee, issued an unusual and cryptic statement, indicating a "serious national security threat."
Turner had said in the statement,
"I am requesting that President Biden declassify all information relating to this threat so that Congress, the Administration, and our allies can openly discuss the actions necessary to respond to this threat,"
The White House has now formally confirmed that this is related to a anti-satellite (ASAT) capability that Russia is developing.
