Canada shot down an unknown object that violated the country's airspace and was flying at high altitude

on Saturday , Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced.

The device was detected by the

North American Aerospace Defense Command (Norad),

an organization formed by

Canada and the United States,

and shot down while it overflowed

Yukon,

a territory in the northwest of the country that borders

Alaska.

This event occurs after the United States shot down an unknown flying object that was flying over Alaska and shot down a balloon of Chinese origin that was allegedly used by

Beijing

for espionage tasks.

"I have ordered the downing of an unidentified object that violated Canadian airspace,"

Justin Trudeau said on Twitter.

Planes from the United States and Canada participated in the operation to follow the device, although it was an American

F-22

that "successfully fired" at the object, explained the prime minister, who coordinated with the president of the United States,

Joe Biden.

Trudeau assured that the Canadian Armed Forces

will recover the remains of the

downed device for analysis.

On Friday, the president of the United States, Joe Biden, ordered to shoot and shoot down an unidentified object that flew over frozen waters in the state of Alaska.

The

White House

has not given details of the origin of said object but it has explained that it was different from the Chinese balloon that was shot down last week after flying over several states of the United States.

The United States has accused the Chinese government of having developed, with the involvement of the Armed Forces, a "program" of balloons for espionage work and which have already flown over more than 40 countries on 5 continents.

Due to the discovery of said balloon, the Secretary of State of the United States,

Antony Blinken,

suspended a trip that he had planned to Beijing.

China defends that the balloon that the United States shot down last Saturday was a

meteorological device

that "deviated from its original course" due to "force majeure."
