Kabul/UNI/SPUTNIK: The Taliban said on Tuesday that US drones operating in Afghan airspace are a breach of national sovereignty.

It has recently acted in violation of all international law and the United States' commitments to the Islamic Emirate in Doha, Qatar, and Afghanistan's sacred airspace is being occupied by US drones. These violations must be corrected and prevented.

"We call on all countries, especially the United States, to act in accordance with mutual obligations ... to prevent any negative consequences," Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid wrote on Twitter.

We call on all countries, especially the United States, to act in the light of mutual commitments and commitments to Afghanistan in the light of international commitments, commitments and laws, in order to prevent any negative consequences.

In mid-August, the Taliban entered Kabul following a nationwide offensive, prompting the civilian government to fall.

About Afghanistan's airspace:

Countries are the sole owners of territorial and air sovereignty by their states under international law. Therefore, the Islamic Emirate, as the sole legal entity of Afghanistan, is the custodian of Afghanistan's land and airspace.

The last province to resist the group, Panjshir, surrendered on September 6.

As international troops withdrew from the country and foreign evacuations were completed, the radical group unveiled the composition of the all-male interim cabinet, led by Mohammad Hasan Akhund, who has been under UN sanctions since 2001.
