PAF ordered to shoot down US drones violating airspace

Author: Web Desk

LAHORE: Pakistan Air Force (PAF) has been given orders to shoot down the United States’ (US) drones if they violate the airspace of Pakistan, said Air Chief Marshal Sohail Aman.

The statement came almost a week after a US drone targeted an “alleged” hideout of the Haqqani network along Pak-Afghan border killing four people.

Referring towards the terrorist attack on Minhas Airbase at Kamra in 2012, he said that the attack was the biggest tragedy in the history of PAF.

We suffered a lot of losses in that incident but did not lose our morale, he said.

“We have continued the fight against extremism with unflinching vigor and resolve since then, transforming the PAF into a much stronger force,” he went on to say.
