“The most worrisome in this is the threat that is posed to the international community,” TASS quoted Lloyd as saying.
He stressed that these tests "undermine international stability."
Earlier, the head of the Russian Ministry of Defense, Sergei Shoigu, said that Russia had indeed successfully tested a promising system that hit the old satellite “jewelry”.
The Russian Ministry of Defense reported that the ISS orbit is 40-60 km below the Tselina-D satellite fragments and there is no threat to the International Space Station (ISS).
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that the test carried out by the Russian Ministry of Defense, during which the inoperative Celina-D spacecraft was hit, was not directed against anyone.
