Russia's anti-satellite missile is criticized because it allegedly endangered International Space Station's astronauts. However, the country denied the accusation, saying that its weapon did not put any people stationed outside the planet at risk.
On the other hand, Sergei Lavrov, the Foreign Minister Sergei of Russia, claimed that Washington's accusations are unreasonable, especially since it put Russia in a wrong position, saying that the missile test put the peaceful space activities at risk.
Recently, we reported that the U.S. condemned Russia, claiming that the missile forced the International Space Station's astronauts to seek shelter because of the debris it created.
Currently, Russia is not the only country conducting missile tests. Even the United States is also working on its hypersonic missiles.
