    Moscow’s Defence Ministry said in a statement: “The Russian Ministry of Defence successfully conducted a test on November 15 that hit the non-operational Russian spacecraft Tselina-D, which had been in orbit since 1982.”

    US officials, however, have claimed the resulting debris cloud will pose a threat to space operations for years to come.

    Travelling at more than 17,000mph, even the smallest pieces of orbital debris can punch through the hull of a spacecraft.

    The missile test has also been condemned by NASA Administrator Bill Nelson, who branded it an “irresponsible and destabilizing action”.
