ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has condemned a drone strike in Kurram Agency carried out by the US-led Resolute Support mission Wednesday morning, which targeted an Afghan refugee camp, ARY News reported.
A statement released by Foreign Office says that Pakistan has continued to emphasize to the US the importance of sharing actionable intelligence so that “appropriate action is taken against terrorists by our forces within our territory”.
“Pakistan has also been stressing the need of early repatriation of Afghan refugees as their presence in Pakistan helps Afghan terrorists to melt and morph among them. Such unilateral actions, as that of today, are detrimental to the spirit of cooperation between the two countries in the fight against terrorism,” reads the statement issued by foreign office.
A pre-dawn US drone strike killed one person. The drone strike took place more than 50 kilometres (31 miles) from the Afghan border, in the village of Mamuzai in Kurram tribal district.
