MOHMAND: Pakistani officials have accused Nato helicopters of firing on a military checkpoint near Pakistan’s Afghan border, killing 25 soldiers.
The Pakistani military said in a statement, “unprovoked and indiscriminate” attack took place in the Pakistani tribal region of Mohmand,.
In response, Pakistan has closed the border crossing for supplies bound for Nato forces in Afghanistan.
Nato said it was aware of “an incident” near the border and was investigating.
The alleged attack took place at the Salala checkpoint, about 1.5 miles (2.5 km) from the Afghan border.
The attack would further complicate US-Pakistan relations, already under strain following a unilateral US raid that killed Osama Bin Laden in Pakistan in May.
According to sources, initially the toll reported up to eight, including an army major, but it has since risen.
At least seven soldiers were wounded.
