Washington: After America, a balloon has now been seen flying in the skies of Latin America as well. Pentagon Press Secretary Brigadier General Pat Ryder said that we are getting reports that another balloon is coming from Latin America. He said- We guess that this is another spy balloon, which is from China only.
"We are seeing reports of a balloon transiting Latin America. We now assess it is another Chinese surveillance balloon. We have no further information to provide at this time," Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder said.
The detection of the Chinese surveillance balloon transiting Latin America comes a day after the Pentagon found a Chinese surveillance balloon within its territory flying over Montana.
US Secretary of State had postponed his visit to China
United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken had postponed his visit to China after the suspected Chinese spy balloon was spotted over the US airspace.
The decision was taken a day after the Pentagon alleged a Chinese spy balloon said to be the size of three buses was spotted over the US airspace.
It is only a civilian airship: China
On the other hand, China has said in its statement that what America is calling a spy balloon for intelligence gathering is only a civilian airship, which deviated from its fixed route. It is used only for weather information.
In retaliation, the American officer said – If it is a civilian balloon, then how and why did it reach Montana, 6 thousand kilometers away. Pentagon said – it was sent to America for spying.
