US DOD was informed prior ASAT test & their non objection stems in we being their strategic partner.

It doesn't mean the number of debris in higher apogee or the their probability to cause harm is false(how ever low the probability might be). Anyone can verify the same, if they have the means.

NASA is answerable to public & that they did. Just like our ISRO is.

I see many, including media confusing between ISRO & DRDO in this context. DRDO was the one which conducted the ASAT test, even if ISRO was involved somehow it shouldn't be advertised; just like how NASA's involvement in any US defence related activity is contained.

The term 'peaceful space exploration' exists for a reason.
