Credibility Assessment
Relies on multiple local sources via Amu TV with specific districts (Shotul, Anaba, Rokha, Bazarak), altitude details, and two passes, but sources are unnamed and lack direct corroboration. Includes a prior named quote from Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid on US drones, adding context without independent verification of the current event.
An unidentified drone was observed flying over Afghanistan's Panjshir Province on Sunday morning, according to multiple local sources who spoke to Amu TV. Residents reported that the drone circled over several districts, including Shotul, Anaba, Rokha, and Bazarak, the provincial capital. Witnesses stated that the aircraft flew at a low altitude and appeared to be conducting surveillance of mountainous terrain, making two passes over parts of the region.
There was no immediate comment from Taliban authorities regarding the incident. This sighting is the latest in a series of similar reports in Panjshir over recent months. Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid previously claimed that US drones have entered Afghanistan’s airspace via neighboring countries. He did not specify the nations involved but described the incidents as violations of Afghanistan’s sovereignty.
