NATO air strikes on Pakistan, and relations between Pakistan and the United States have further deteriorated.

The relationship between Pakistan and the United States has further deteriorated. Pakistan pointed out that US-led NATO warplanes attacked military facilities on the northwest border, killing more than 20 Pakistani soldiers. Pakistan demands that the US troops withdraw from an air base in Balochistan within 15 days and close the NATO road supply line to Afghanistan. This may affect NATO's war on terrorism in Afghanistan.

It is reported that the air raid took place around 2 am Pakistan time on Saturday, when the soldiers were sleeping. On the 26th, NATO helicopters attacked two military checkpoints on the Afghan border in northwest Pakistan, killing as many as 28 Pakistani soldiers. The NATO commander expressed condolences to the families of the deceased. The news pointed out that there were no obvious signs in the attacked border areas. However, the Pakistani military said that it had provided NATO with a map indicating the location of military facilities.

In May this year, US commandos killed bin Laden across the border, which caused strong dissatisfaction in Pakistan and was regarded as a violation of sovereignty.

In retaliation, Pakistan closed an important supply line to NATO troops fighting in Afghanistan.

The worst casualties in a decade.

NATO's air strike is the most serious incident in which Pakistani soldiers were killed and injured since the alliance between Pakistan and the United States after 9 1 1.

The relationship between the United States and Pakistan, an anti-terrorism ally, has been strained by the cross-border killing of bin Laden by US special forces, which Pakistan said at that time was a serious violation of its sovereignty. The United States has always suspected that Pakistan continues to secretly help the guerrillas, with the aim of getting NATO troops out of Afghanistan after two years and continuing to influence Afghanistan's own political situation. The NATO attack just gave Pakistan a reason to accuse NATO of attacking Pakistan directly.

Pakistan's Foreign Ministry issued a statement on 26th, saying that Pakistani Prime Minister Gilani condemned NATO and the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in the strongest terms, and said that Pakistan's Foreign Ministry would lodge the strongest protest with NATO and the United States. Gilani will also hold an emergency meeting with President Zardari, senior cabinet officials and generals of the three armed services to discuss countermeasures.

General Allen, commander of the US NATO forces in Afghanistan, promised to conduct a comprehensive investigation and expressed condolences to any Pakistani troops who may have lost their lives on the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan. Allen met with Pakistani Army Chief of Staff Chiani the day before to discuss border control and cooperation between the two sides.

According to Pakistani military officials, as many as 28 soldiers may have been killed and 1 1 injured in the attack launched by NATO troops on the Salara checkpoint 2.5 kilometers from the Afghan border on 26th. One of the senior officials said that the attack would trigger a serious backlash, because NATO attacked the Pakistani checkpoint for no reason and killed the sleeping soldiers.

The Pakistani military revealed that about 40 people were stationed at two checkpoints in Salara, and two of them were also killed. Pakistani troops fought back immediately after the attack. ISAF spokesman later admitted that there was a firefight on the ground and called NATO helicopter air support, which may cause casualties of Pakistani officers and soldiers.

After Pakistan closed the NATO supply road, about 40 NATO supply trucks and tankers bound for Afghanistan were stopped by Pakistani authorities at the border of tribal areas near Pakhawa for security reasons, and the border of Chaman City in Baluchistan Province was also closed.

According to a NATO spokesman, Pakistan is an important supply pipeline for NATO troops in Afghanistan, and 49% of NATO road materials must be transported to Afghanistan through Pakistan.

NATO troops also mistakenly attacked Pakistani troops at the end of September 2009, killing two soldiers. At that time, the Pakistani government ordered the closure of NATO supply channels for ten days. According to NATO, NATO helicopter gunships mistakenly thought that the Pakistani army fired a warning shot as an attack by militants before fighting back, causing casualties of the Pakistani army.
