US says Russia likely launched anti-satellite weapon

Russia launched a satellite into low Earth orbit that the US suspects is a counterspace weapon capable of attacking other satellites, as stated by Wood during a UN Security Council resolution vote.
The satellite was deployed in the same orbit as a US government satellite, described as troubling by Wood, undermining Russia's claims of outer space security.
Prior Russian satellite launches in 2019 and 2022 were likely counterspace systems, according to Wood, raising concerns about the militarization of space.
