"Republican's Startling Warning: Russia's Nuclear Threat to US Satellites in Space"

House Intelligence Committee chairman Mike Turner issued a cryptic warning of a "serious national security threat" facing the US, with officials suggesting that Russia is developing a nuclear-capable weapon to take down satellites. The White House stated that the threat is not imminent, but congressional leaders will be briefed, and lawmakers have until Friday to review intelligence about it. Turner called for the declassification of information to openly discuss the necessary actions, while other lawmakers emphasized the need for caution and reassured the public that there is no cause for panic. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan offered to personally brief congressional leaders on the matter.
