		</div><p>Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he ordered a US warplane to shoot down an unidentified object that was flying high over northern Canada, acting a day after US planes took similar action over Alaska.</p>
<p>Shortly before Mr Trudeau’s tweet, the North American Aerospace Defence Command said it had detected an object flying at high altitude over Canada.</p>
<p>Norad gave no further information, including when the object was first spotted or what it is.</p>
<p>A spokesman, Major Olivier Gallant, said both Canadian and US warplanes operating as part of Norad had been deployed.</p>
<p>On Twitter, Mr Trudeau said: “I ordered the take down of an unidentified object that violated Canadian airspace. @NORADCommand shot down the object over the Yukon. Canadian and US aircraft were scrambled, and a US F-22 successfully fired at the object.”</p>
<p>The object was the third known to have violated North American airspace in the past two weeks.</p>
<p>In a second tweet, Mr Trudeau said: “I spoke with President Biden this afternoon. Canadian Forces will now recover and analyse the wreckage of the object. Thank you to Norad for keeping the watch over North America.”</p>
<p>A suspected Chinese spy balloon spent nearly a week flying through Canadian and US airspace before it was shot down by US warplanes last Sunday.</p>
<p>The US military shot down a second object in Alaskan airspace on Friday, though authorities have not provided details on what it was.</p>
<p>According to US Northern Command, recovery operations continued on Saturday both near Deadhorse, Alaska, and off South Carolina.</p>
<p>In a statement, the Northern Command said there were no new details on what the object was that a US fighter jet shot down over Alaska.</p>
<p>It said the Alaska Command and the Alaska National Guard, along with the FBI and local law enforcement, were conducting search and recovery.</p>
<p>“Arctic weather conditions, including wind chill, snow, and limited daylight, are a factor in this operation, and personnel will adjust recovery operations to maintain safety,” the statement said.</p>
<p>“Recovery activities are occurring on sea ice.”</p>
<p>It added that the Navy continued survey and recovery activities on the ocean floor off South Carolina, and the Coast Guard was providing security.</p>
<p>Additional debris was pulled out on Friday, and additional operations will continue as weather permits, the statement said.</p>
