A North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) aircraft reportedly breached Pakistan laws and infiltrated the nation's airspace.

According to the Express Tribune, the aircraft flew around for five to six minutes, however the military sources contradicted the report and said that no such incident had occurred.

The military sources said that there was no question of airspace violation by the coalition forces aircraft operating in Afghanistan.

The report added that in an earlier airstrike in November 2011, NATO helicopters had pounded a Pakistani checkpost for hours despite attempts by Pakistani troops to communicate with the NATO forces that they were friendly forces and killed two dozen Pakistani border guards.
