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.
