Trudeau says he ordered takedown of ‘unidentified object that violated Canadian airspace’

The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) has shot down an unidentified object in Canadian airspace, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Saturday. “I ordered the take down of an unidentified object that violated Canadian airspace. [NORAD] shot down the object over the Yukon. Canadian and U.S. aircraft were scrambled, and a U.S. F-22 successfully fired at the object,” Trudeau said in a statement on Twitter. The source added the object crossed into Canada on Saturday morning and Trudeau ordered the shoot down by whichever country arrived at it first.
