A Russian satellite or satellite debris has collided with a low-Earth orbiting commercial Iridium communications satellite on the 10th February, 2009.
The cloud of wreckage may pose a hazard to other satellites in similar orbits; however the international space station is outside the danger zone and is not at risk.

A commercial Iridium communications satellite (IRIDIUM 33) and a
defunct Russian satellite (KOSMOS 2251) ran into each other on February
10, 2009 above Northern Siberia, creating a cloud of debris. The impact
occurred at 16:56:00 UTC, at Latitude 72° 30' 04'', Longitude 97° 52'
46'', Altitude 788.68 km. Both satellites were flying at that time with
6.8 km/sec or 24480 km/h.
