ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Pakistan’s army spokesman says its forces have orders to open fire on U.S. troops if they launch another raid across the Afghan border.

Pakistani officials issued sharp protests to Washington after helicopters ferried U.S. commandos into Pakistan’s South Waziristan region Sept. 3 for a highly unusual ground attack into a militant stronghold.

Pakistani army spokesman Maj. Gen. Athar Abbas said that, after the raid, the military told its field commanders to prevent any similar raids, adding that if it was clear that troops had crossed the ill-defined border into Pakistani territory, either on the ground or in the air, that troops should “open fire.”

“No incursion is to be tolerated,” he said.
