Pakistan will attack US drones
Pakistan will shoot down any US drone that intrudes its airspace as per new directives, a senior Pakistani official told NBC News on Sunday, the nation.com.pk reports.
According to the new Pakistani defense policy, “Any object entering into our airspace, including US drones, will be treated as hostile and be shot down,” a senior Pakistani military official told NBC News.
The policy change comes just weeks after a deadly NATO attack on Pakistani military checkpoints killed 24 Pakistani soldiers, prompting Pakistani officials to order all US personnel out of a remote airfield in Balochistan, the source reports.
