Govt rejects Taliban-linked drone strike claims

ISLAMABAD:

The information ministry on Friday strongly rejected claims circulating from Afghan Taliban-linked propaganda channels, alleging cross-border drone strikes on alleged Islamic State–Khorasan Province (ISKP) camps inside Pakistan, calling the reports "false as usual".

In a fact-check statement posted on X, the ministry said the allegations that Afghan Taliban forces had targeted supposed ISKP camps in the border areas of K-P and Balochistan were "false".

It further stated, "Terrorist camps are factually located, run and patronised from inside the territories under control of the Afghan Taliban regime."
