ISLAMABAD, Aug. 31 (Xinhua) -- Pakistan had strongly condemned 1 the U.S. drone strike that killed four people in the country's North Waziristan tribal 2 region on Saturday, the Foreign Ministry 3 said.
An American spy aircraft fired missiles into Mir Ali area of North Waziristan and killed at least four people, official sources in the region said.
The drone fired two missiles on a house in Mir Ali area, destroying the building, tribesmen said.
"These unilateral strikes are a violation 4 of Pakistan's sovereignty and territorial 5 integrity," a Foreign Ministry statement said.
It said Pakistan has repeatedly emphasized the importance of bringing an immediate 6 end to drone strikes.
"The government of Pakistan has consistently maintained that drone strikes are counter-productive, entail 7 loss of innocent civilian 8 lives and have human rights and humanitarian 9 implications. "
The Foreign Ministry said the U.S. such strikes also set dangerous precedents 10 in the inter-state relations.
"These drone strikes have a negative impact on the mutual 11 desire of both countries to forge a cordial and cooperative relationship and to ensure peace and stability in the region," the statement said.
The attack came a day after Pakistan announced to formally lodge 12 its protest on U.S. drone attacks in the UN General Assembly session next month.
Advisor 13 on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz said in the National Assembly on Friday that the U.S. attacks violate Pakistan's sovereignty and international laws.
"A breakthrough is expected on the issue of U.S. drone strikes in the coming months," he said, without elaborating.
The United States routinely fires missiles into Waziristan tribal region to target militants 14 who are accused of crossing into Afghanistan for attacks on foreign and Afghan forces.
Aziz said that Pakistani leaders in their forthcoming meetings with U.S. authorities will ask them to stop drone strikes as they are counterproductive.
He added that UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has supported Pakistan's stance on the issue and he reiterated 15 his stance during his visit this month.
