The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has refuted the statement and claims of the Afghan Taliban regime about targeting Daesh Khorasan in border areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan, using rudimentary drones.

In a statement, the Information Ministry termed these claims as false as usual.

The statement further said that Afghan Taliban regime through their various propaganda mouthpieces and official statements are claiming to have targeted Daesh Khorasan in border areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan, using rudimentary drones. 

The Information Ministry said terrorist camps including that of Daesh and more than two dozen other terrorists organizations are factually located, run and patronized from inside the territories under control of Afghan Taliban regime. And to cover their patronization of terror waged in neighbouring countries and region, including that from Daesh, Fitna al-Khawarij, Fitna al-Hindustan and others, the Taliban regime is used to issue such fake and nefarious statements.

The Information Minister further said that, in fact, one rudimentary drone of Taliban regime intruded inside Pakistan airspace near Shinko area of Khyber. It was immediately identified and neutralized by the alert Air defence system of Pakistan Air Force.
