A Russian satellite, Resurs-P1, which has been non-operational since 2021 and was decommissioned in 2022, broke apart in Earth's orbit overnight on Wednesday, creating over 100 pieces of debris. This event forced astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS) to take shelter for about an hour. The cause of the break-up remains unclear, but U.S. Space Command and NASA confirmed the incident. The debris adds to the growing concern over space junk in Earth's orbit, with some speculating that the break-up might be the result of an anti-satellite missile test.
