Asked about China’s remorse, a Pentagon spokesman said, “The thing is, it’s a spy balloon,” declining to elaborate.
The US Pentagon said yesterday that it is monitoring a Chinese spy balloon that flies at high altitude over US territory, flying past secret military installations, assuring that it does not pose any “threat”.
US officials said military leaders considered shooting it down over Montana on Wednesday, but ultimately recommended that President Joe Biden drop the option due to a security risk from the debris.
However, at today’s briefing, Ryder said the Pentagon is revisiting its options.
