US balloons breached airspace at least 10 times: China

China alleged that the US has flown balloons into its airspace more than 10 times in the last year.

The accusation comes after the US on 4 February shot down a suspected spy balloon over its airspace, which China said was a civilian balloon, reports BBC.

Chinese foreign ministry said the US had made many airspace breaches.

"It's not uncommon as well for the US to illegally enter the airspace of other countries," said foreign ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin at a regular press briefing on Monday.

"If you want to know more about US high-altitude balloons illegally entering China's airspace, I suggest you refer to the US side," he said.

However, Washington has yet to respond to the allegations from Beijing.
