Pakistan gives a strong response over threat caused by destroyed Indian satellite

ISLAMABAD - Pakistan has expressed deep concern over the assessment of relevant organizations and international experts on the threats resulting from space debris generated by the recently conducted Anti-Satellite weapon test by India.

In a statement today (Tuesday), the Foreign Office Spokesperson said the reports that some of the space debris created by this test has been pushed above the apogee of the International Space Station increasing the risk of collision are deeply worrying.

The Spokesperson said Pakistan remains a strong proponent of non-militarization of outer space.
