ISLAMABAD: Pakistan would not tolerate drone strikes in its territory as these are against the sovereignty of the country, said Foreign Office Spokesman here.
Foreign office spokesman Nafees Zakaria, in a weekly media briefing, was commenting on Iranian drone shot down by Pakistan inside its territory.
