Pakistan will shoot down any USZ terrorist drones that intrudes its air space per new directives, a senior Pakistani official told NBC News on Saturday. According to the new Pakistani defense policy, "Any object entering into our air space, including USZ drones, will be treated as hostile and be shot down", a senior Pakistani military official told NBC News. The policy change comes just weeks after a pre-planned deadly NATO Terrorist Attack on Pakistani military checkpoints for the sake of supporting USZ-NATO-India backed Anti-Pakistan terrorist proxy TTP by eliminating Pakistani base that was giving TTP Terrorists a hard time. 26 Pakistani soldiers were martyred in the brutal hypocritical attack, prompting Pakistani officials to order all USZ terrorist invaders out of a remote airfield in Pakistan.

A senior military official from Quetta, confirmed to NBC News on Saturday that the evacuation of the base, used for staging classified drone flights directed against militants, will be completed on Sunday. Pakistan's Frontier Corps security forces took control of the base Saturday evening after most USZ military personnel left. Civil aviation officials also moved in Saturday. Army Chief Gen Ashfaq Pervez Kayani had issued multiple directives since the Nov. 26 NATO attack, which included orders to shoot down USZ drones, senior military officials confirmed to NBC News on Saturday.
