Canada has closed its airspace near parts of the U.S. border due to air defence operation

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says a U.S. fighter jet shot down an object over Canada.

The U.S. believes the flying objects over North American airspace were balloons.

Both Canadian and US aircraft were scrambled to track the object, which Trudeau says had “violated Canadian airspace”.

He told viewers the U.S. got enormous intelligence information from surveilling the balloon.

However a spokesperson for the US Department of Defense said the latest two objects “did not closely resemble” the original balloon and were much smaller.

It happened just under a week after the U.S. destroyed a Chinese balloon over the Atlantic.

Published

Washington D.C. has been under pressure to ban the popular Chinese-owned social media app TikTok.

TikTok users could soon find that the popular social media service is either under new ownership or could be outright banned in the U.S.

Calls are growing louder from many lawmakers and national security hawks to ban TikTok, over fears the app could censure content, influence users, and give Americans’ personal data to Beijing.

But the Chinese tech company, ByteDance—which owns TikTok— denies the allegations.
