China on Monday accused the United States of indiscriminate use of force when the American military shot down a suspected Chinese spy balloon on Saturday.
Mao Ning, a spokesperson with Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the incident was "caused by force majeure."
The U.S. shot down a balloon off the Carolina coast after it traversed sensitive military sites across North America.
China insisted the flyover was an accident involving a civilian aircraft.
China's foreign ministry affairs spokeswoman Moa Ning said it was an accident, and said China is a responsible country and that the U.S. was overreacting.
She added that another balloon over Latin America was also for civilian use.
