The Biden administration has issued direct warnings to Russia against deploying a nuclear-capable anti-satellite weapon, with CIA Director William Burns engaging in talks with Russian spy chief Sergei Naryshkin and Secretary of State Antony Blinken raising the issue with Indian and Chinese officials. The warning comes after concerns were raised about a space-based "anti-satellite capability" being developed by Russia, with the U.S. emphasizing that such a deployment would violate the 1967 Outer Space Treaty.

US authorities have reportedly foiled a plot to kill Sikh separatist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun on American soil and issued a diplomatic warning to India over alleged links to the plot. The US embassy and India's foreign ministry have not yet commented on the report. The Financial Times did not specify if the protest to India resulted in the plot being abandoned or if it was foiled by the FBI. This comes after Canada alleged Indian involvement in the murder of another Sikh separatist leader in June. US federal prosecutors have filed a sealed indictment against at least one suspect in a New York District Court. Pannun, the target of the foiled plot, is associated with Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), which India has labeled an "unlawful association." India has now resumed issuing e-visas for Canadian tourists and business travelers after a two-month suspension.
