KABUL/ISLAMABAD, Feb 27 (Reuters) – The Afghan Taliban “successfully conducted” air strikes using drones to hit military targets in Pakistan, its defence ministry and a government spokesperson said on Friday, as fighting between the neighbours continued.
Pakistani Information Minister Attaullah Tarar said Pakistani Taliban militants had tried to use drones against targets in Pakistan but they were brought down by anti-drone systems and there was “no damage to life”.
