Islamabad [Pakistan]: Pakistan Foreign Office (FO) spokesperson Nafees Zakaria on Thursday said that drone strikes are against Pakistan’s sovereignty.
His statement came a day after a Pakistan Air Force JF-17 Thunder jet shot down an unmanned Iranian drone allegedly on a spying mission in Balochistan’s Panjgur area
“Our position on drone strikes is well known. Our position is that drone strikes are counter-productive and violate the sovereignty of Pakistan,” Zakaria said, during the weekly news briefing.
In a statement released hours after the drone was shot down on Wednesday, the FO said Islamabad had notified Tehran of the development. (ANI)
