KABUL - Afghan Acting Deputy Prime Minister on Political Affairs Mawlawi Abdul Kabir has accused the United States of violating the country's airspace, local media reported Friday.

US drone operations are a problem because Afghanistan has no necessary equipment to stop the US operations, Tolonews quoted Kabir as saying.

The senior Afghan official made the remarks in a public meeting in the eastern Panjshir province on Thursday, according to the private media outlet.
