U.S. Warned Allies about Russian Space, Nuclear Capabilities, Source Says

The new capabilities relate to attempts to develop a space-based weapon

The intelligence came to light after Rep. Mike Turner, Republican chair of the U.S. House of Representatives intelligence committee, issued an unusual and cryptic statement on Wednesday warning of a "serious national security threat."
