Over the Atlantic Ocean, US fighter jets shoot down a Chinese balloon
As a protest against China's entry into US airspace, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken cancelled his upcoming historic trip to Beijing.



Local US media said on Saturday that three US airports were closed as part of a "national security effort" and that a suspected Chinese spy balloon was shot down off the country's east coast.
The Pentagon reported on Friday that the Chinese balloon, which was about the size of three buses, had been monitored in US airspace. The Chinese aircraft is thought to be capable of surveillance.
