Pakistan's government condemned the US drone strike and targeted Afghan Taliban chief Mullah Akhtar Mansour without a prior arrangement with the Pakistani authorities, considering it was a violation of sovereignty. 
The drone attack was a violation of Pakistan's sovereignty, an issue which has been raised with the United States in the past as well, Pakistan's Foreign Ministry said in a statement. 
On late Saturday, the United States shared information with Pakistan that a drone strike was carried out in Pakistan near the Pakistan-Afghanistan border area, in which reportedly the Afghan Taliban leader Mullah Akhter Mansoor was targeted, according to the statement, adding this information was shared with the Pakistani Prime Minister and the Chief of Army Staff after the drone strike. 
The Ministry also said that according to the information gathered so far, two persons also killed in the strike. 
It may be recalled that the fifth meeting of the Quadrilateral Coordination Group (QCG) held on 18th May had reiterated that a politically negotiated settlement was the only viable option for lasting peace in Afghanistan and called upon the Taliban to give up violence and join peace talks, the Ministry said.
