China has threatened further action in response to fighter jets shooting down a suspected ‘spy’ balloon that had been floating across the US.
The Chinese are insisting that the balloon shot down off the East Coast was a civilian aircraft and that the flyover was an accident, claiming it was actually a weather measuring device which drifted off-course.
President Joe Biden ordered the craft to be shot down on Saturday after it had crossed over sensitive military sites across North America.
The Pentagon said the balloon, which was carrying sensors and surveillance equipment, was manoeuvrable and showed it could change course.
