Pentagon tracks suspected Chinese spy balloon over US I DW News

The Pentagon is tracking a suspected spy balloon as it flies over the western United States, officials said Thursday. The Pentagon says it suspects it is Chinese, but has not confirmed its origin. The balloon has been flying over US skies for a few days now.

A US defense official said the balloon — spotted over Montana — has a flight path that would carry it over several sensitive sites but did not provide specific details. Montana is home to one of three US nuclear missile silo fields at Malmstrom Air Force Base.

China has warned against speculation and what it calls “hype” until the facts are established.
