Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has ordered to shoot off an unidentified object that violated Canadian airspace. The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) shot down the object over the Yukon, a Canadian territory West of the country and bordering Alaska, United States.
“Canadian and U.S. aircraft scrambled and a U.S. Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor successfully fired at the object,” Trudeau wrote on Twitter, adding that he spoke with President Biden this afternoon.
Canadian Forces will now recover and analyse the wreckage of the object.
It is the third object to be shot down over North America in the last week.
On Friday the American military destroyed an unspecified object the size of a small car off Alaska. One week ago, United States President Joe Biden ordered the taking down of a Chinese balloon that drifted through the country at a high altitude.
