Nato leader identifies space as the next ‘operational domain’

Military alliance 'will not put weapons in orbit but has to protect interests of west'

Jens Stoltenberg, Nato's secretary general, said there was no question of weapons being deployed but that the alliance had to protect civilian and military interests.
