Islamabad, Jan 02: Pakistan`s military said today a bomb was dropped inside Pakistani territory during a weekend border clash between US and Pakistani forces, contradicting a US military account of the raid. "During an operation carried out by US troops in Afghanistan a bomb fell near the Durand line in Pakistani territory," military spokesman Major General Rashid Qureshi, referring to the tribal-dominated north-west border with Afghanistan, told a news agency. There were no casualties or damage and Pakistan`s military was probing the incident, he said.


The US military in Afghanistan said that one of its war planes dropped a bomb after a Pakistani border scout fired on a IS patrol, injuring a US soldier, on Sunday near the Afghan Frontier Town of Shkin. A US military spokeswoman said that the bomb fell inside Afghan territory, 300 meters from a Pakistani checkpoint.
