Parwan Residents Report Drone Surveillance In Province

Along with sending images and videos to Afghanistan International, residents of Parwan reported the presence of an unmanned aircraft in the skies of this province.

It is not yet clear which country this drone belongs to. In recent days, drone flights have been spotted in several provinces of the country.

A resident of Parwan province said that the drone was spotted around 9 am on Wednesday.

The Taliban have not commented on this matter so far, but in the past, this group has accused the United States of violating Afghanistan's airspace.

In recent days, residents of the provinces of Badakhshan, Panjshir, Kunar, and Laghman have also reported to Afghanistan International that drones have been seen in the skies of these provinces.

In several cases, these drones have also been spotted in Kandahar province. On April 2, sources reported that unmanned aircraft spent several hours hovering over the office of Mullah Hibatullah Akhundzada, the leader of the Taliban in Kandahar. According to the sources, the drone surveillance made the Taliban concerned and forced them to change their leader's location.

In response to these drone surveillances, the Taliban spokesperson accused the United States of "violating" Afghanistan's airspace.

Earlier, sources also informed Afghanistan International that a drone strike in Giru district of Ghazni province, resulted in the death of 12 people.

However, the Taliban had claimed that this incident was caused by the explosion of a mortar shell, in which, according to them, five women and four children were killed.

Afghanistan International sources rejected the Taliban's statement and said that the incident was due to drone attack, in which 12 people, including three employees of the Ministry of Mines, including Matiullah Bakhtzoi's son, a member of the ministry's evaluation commission, two Taliban members, four women, and three children, were killed.

Senior Taliban officials, including the Defence Minister and the Chief of Staff, have repeatedly stated that Afghanistan's airspace is still under the "occupation" of the United States.
