Islamabad: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif today expressed deep concern over a drone strike that killed six persons, including commanders of the Haqqani network, and said Pakistan had conveyed its opposition to the attacks to the US.
“We are really upset by the strikes...this is injustice against Pakistan,” he said while speaking at the “National Consultation Conference - Pakistan Vision 2025”.
In a rare strike outside Pakistan's tribal areas, a drone yesterday targeted a seminary in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province, killing six persons and injuring eight others.
In an apparent reference to his efforts to engage the Taliban in talks, Sharif said the government has opted for dialogue to deal with terrorism.
