ROUGH CUT - NO REPORTER NARRATION
Pakistan's military on Wednesday (November 30) released video footage of what it said was the aftermath of a NATO airstrike on its military outposts over the weekend.
The airstrike that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers, took place at the Salala military post, about 1.5 miles (2.5 km) from the Afghan border in the Mohmand region of Pakistan's tribal belt on Saturday (November 26).
The video, which Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) says was taken "hours after the attacks", shows smoke rising from destroyed bunkers on a high mountain top.
A senior Pakistani army official has said the NATO cross-border air attack was a deliberate, blatant act of aggression, hardening Pakistan's stance on an incident that could hurt efforts to stabilise Afghanistan.
Military authorities said on Wednesday that NATO forces were alerted that they were attacking Pakistani posts, but helicopters kept firing.
A Western official and an Afghan security official who requested anonymity said NATO troops were responding to fire from across the border. Pakistan has said the attack was unprovoked.
