Pakistani soldiers 'confront US'

This is not yet confirmed by ISPR. Wonder if it is the result of communication or mis-communication. Or perhaps the US is testing the waters?

Pakistani troops have fired shots into the air to stop US troops crossing into the South Waziristan region of Pakistan, local officials say.

Reports say seven US helicopters landed on the Afghan side of the border and US troops then tried to cross the border.

South Waziristan is one of the main areas from which Islamist militants launch attacks into Afghanistan.

The incident comes amid growing anger in Pakistan over US attacks along the border region.

The confrontation began at around midnight, local officials say.
