Two Gunship airplanes of NATO violated Pakistan’s airspace on Friday and hovered over the areas of South and North Waziristan including Sayedgai, Shawwal and Barmal. The tribesmen who took position on the high mountainous areas of Shawwal opened firing from Anti Air Craft Guns.

The local notables told that the NATO forces violated Pakistan’s airspace several times while the ground violation also happened once and the allied forces targeted innocent tribesmen based in Afghanistan.

They said that the NATO forces were warned several times over violation of airspace and the tribesmen have no choice but to install Anti Aircraft Gun to safeguard their soil.
