A minister has warned that China may have deployed spy balloons across UK airspace.
It comes after Defence Secretary Ben Wallace announced a new security review after the US military shot down a series of objects in western airspace, one of which was suspected to be a Chinese spy balloon. Transport minister Richard Holden appeared on Sky News, where he was asked if it was possible that such balloons were already flown over the UK.
"It is possible," Mr Holden said. "It is also possible, and I would think likely, that there would be people from the Chinese government trying to act as a hostile state.”
