Nato helicopters killed at least 24 security personnel and injured 12 soldiers on a Pakistani check post in Salala, which is located in area of Mohmand Agency on the Pak-Afghan border . Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) sources confirmed the attack, but could not determine the number of casualties as the interrogation was still underway.
“The actual number of casualties might rise, as it cannot be determined at the moment,” the official said.
The official added that nearby areas were also attacked by the helicopters.
“It is a matter of national security and we are still interrogating it,” said a security official. “The matter will be taken up at the highest level.”
Masood Kasur, the governor of Pakistan’s northwestern Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province said that :
“Such cross-border attacks cannot be tolerated any more. The government will take up this matter at the highest level and it will be investigated.”
The attack will likely worsen US-Pakistan relations, already at one of their lowest points in history . But the Pakistani army and Govt , should realize the matter of National Security.
