Kabul: The presence of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) belonging to the United States violating the airspace over two southern provinces of Afghanistan has been reported by the Taliban government. Zabihullah Mujahid disclosed this information to Afghanistan’s TOLOnews agency, specifying Kandahar and Nimroz as the affected provinces.
Mujahid stated, “These aircraft undoubtedly belong to the US, flying and crossing from the airspace of some neighboring countries into Afghanistan.” He urged all parties involved to recognize their responsibilities and cease such acts of aggression.
Highlighting Kabul’s repeated protests on the matter, Mujahid emphasized the need for Washington to address the issue seriously. Additionally, he criticized some neighboring countries for permitting the US to utilize their airspace to deploy aircraft into Afghan skies.
Sarwar Niazi, a military expert, expressed concerns over Afghanistan’s lack of air defense forces and radar, stating, “Unfortunately, Afghanistan lacks air defense forces and radar, so any country that wishes can violate Afghanistan’s airspace,” as reported by the agency.
