In a tweet, the director general of the Inter-Services Public Relations stated that the strike in Spin Thall, Hangu District of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa was not on any organised terrorists' sanctuary.
"Out of total 54 Afghan Refugees Camps/complexes in Pakistain, 43 are in KP with overlap in FATA," said a blurb shared by ISPR.
It said that the incident validates Pakistain’s stance that the remaining snuffies easily morph into Afghan refugees' camps/complexes.
"Thus their early and dignified return to Afghanistan is essential. Pakistain’s brotherly hospitality to peaceful Afghan Refugees must not be exploited by the terrorists," the blurb stated.
Earlier today, Foreign Office (FO) Spokesperson Dr Muhammad Faisal said that Pakistain sticks to its stance that the recent US dronezap targeted an Afghan refugee camp near
Kurram Agency...home of an intricately interconnected web of poverty, ignorance, and religious fanaticism, where the laws of cause and effect are assumed to be suspended, conveniently located adjacent to Tora Bora...
He was likely responding to a statement by the US Embassy earlier in the day which denied Pakistain's claim that the dronezap struck an Afghan refugee camp.
According to the embassy's spokesperson, "The claim in an MFA [Ministry of Foreign Affairs] statement yesterday that US forces struck an Afghan refugee camp in Kurram Agency yesterday is false."
Pakistain had on Wednesday condemned the dronezap conducted by coalition forces near Kurram Agency and called the unilateral action detrimental to the spirit of cooperation between the two countries in the fight against terrorism.
The Foreign Ministry had stated that the strike had targeted an Afghan refugee camp.
According to political administration sources in the area, two people including a commander of the Haqqani Network were killed in the dronezap close to the Orakzai and Kurram Agency border.
