The North American Air Defense Command, "NORAD", announced that two military fighters intercepted a civilian plane that violated a temporary no-fly zone near Lake Tahoe, in the state of Nevada, where President Joe Biden is spending his vacation.

NORAD said, in a statement, that two fighters responded to a signal from the Coast Guard regarding a civilian plane's violation of the airspace of the area in which President Joe Badin was, and fired flares to attract the pilot's attention that he had violated an area where flying is temporarily prohibited, adding that the plane was escorted out of the area."

For its part, the White House said that "there was no impact on President Biden as a result of the interception process," noting that "the situation was resolved without incident, and without any impact on the president."

It is noteworthy that a similar incident occurred last summer, when President Biden was vacationing in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware./ End
