Pakistan providing airspace for US drones: Kabul

Afghan defence minister Mohammad Yaqoob Mujahid yesterday accused Pakistan of providing airspace for US drones to enter his country, characterising the incursions as a continuation of Washington's "invasion". Mujahid's comments came less than a month after US President Joe Biden announced the killing of al-Qaeda chief Ayman al-Zawahiri in a drone strike in Kabul. US drones continued to be seen flying over Kabul even now, Mujahid said. "Our information shows that they (US drones) are entering into Afghanistan from Pakistan, using the airspace of Pakistan," Mujahid told reporters when asked where the drones were coming from.
