A second balloon, which the Pentagon now assesses as a Chinese surveillance vehicle, is transiting Latin America.
The Chinese government claimed that the device flying over the United States was a “civilian airship” that is used to collect information about the weather with “limited self-steering capability.” But a U.S. defense official rejected such claims, telling The Post that it lingered near sensitive sites including Malmstrom Air Force Base, which has a nuclear missile silo field.
While the suspected Chinese spy balloon in the United States has been linked to tense relations between the two countries, Beijing has been working to bolster its ties to Latin America, where the Pentagon said the other balloon was spotted.
