Canada has shot down an ‘unidentified object’ after it entered its airspace, the country’s prime minister says.
It comes one day after the US president ordered a fighter jet to shoot down an unidentified “high-altitude object” off Alaska.
In a tweet, Justin Trudeau wrote: “I ordered the take down of an unidentified object that violated Canadian airspace. @NORADCommand shot down the object over the Yukon.
“Canadian and U.S. aircraft were scrambled, and a U.S. F-22 successfully fired at the object.”
It is not clear what the object is or if it is related to the Chinese spy balloon shot down last week or the other object that was shot down yesterday.
