Pakistani officials on Wednesday accused NATO helicopters of violating Pakistan’s air space over North Waziristan.
“Two helicopters intruded several kilometres inside Pakistan territory in Datta Khel town around 2:00 am,” a military official told AFP, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The helicopters flew in from the eastern Afghan province Paktia and circled the bordering village of Zoi Nara for more than five minutes, the official in the provincial capital Peshawar said.
Another military official said the choppers left after “warning shots” were fired by Pakistan troops. Officials said they were not attack helicopters.
Dildar Khan, a tribal police official in Datta Khel, said the helicopters flew at a relatively low altitude and returned after the warning shots.
Its good to know that at least some resistance was made from Pakistani Side. which is a good sign and NATO might be cautious about there next flight inside Pakistan.
