[Instant News/Comprehensive Report] Recently, Chinese spy balloons flew into the US airspace, causing concern, which caused US Secretary of State Blinken to suspend his visit to China, causing diplomatic turmoil.

According to several foreign media reports, the U.S. military has shot down the spy balloon over the Atlantic Ocean off the eastern coast of the United States, and the recovery of the wreckage is currently underway.

Asked what he thought of the spy balloon, U.S. President Joe Biden made it clear he would "dispose of" the balloon.

He said, "Wednesday, when I was briefed on the balloon, I ordered the Pentagon to shoot it down as soon as possible." But at that time, considering not causing harm to the people on the ground, it was decided that the best time was to wait for it to go to the water.

On Saturday afternoon local time, the balloon flew at an altitude of about 60,000 feet off the coast of the Carolinas. When it flew away from the continental United States, the military shot it down, and multiple TV companies also broadcast live.

Prior to this, the US Federal Aviation Administration (Federal Aviation Administration, FAA) ordered three airports in the Carolinas to be grounded to clear the air and sea below the balloon.

The FAA has now lifted the no-fly order.

Now that the mission is complete, Biden said happily, "They successfully shot it down, and I want to praise our pilots."
