Washington: US aviation authorities on Saturday closed down three airports in the eastern part of the country due to a "national security effort" over a suspected Chinese spy balloon in US skies.
Arrivals and departures were paused at three airports in the states of South and North Carolina "to support the Department of Defense in a national security effort," the Federal Aviation Administration told AFP in a statement.
