Pakistan officials have recently released new figures suggesting that fewer civilian casualties result from US drone strikes. Since 2008 317 drone strikes have resulted in deaths of over two thousand individuals. Less than 3% of these deaths are civilians casualties. This is significantly lower than the 6% which was previously stated by the Pakistan Ministry of Defense.
