ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani Friday warned the US and its NATO allies that any future cross-border attack would meet with a "detrimental response".
Gilani made the comments while meeting army chief of staff General Ashfaq Kayani, the prime minister's secretariat said in a statement.
"The democratic government would not allow similar attack on the country's sovereignty and any attempt in future will definitely meet the detrimental response," the statement quoted Gilani as saying.
Pakistani security officials earlier said they had upgraded the air defence system on the Afghan border to make it capable of shooting down aircraft.
Kayani informed the prime minister of the steps taken on the western boarders to revamp defence capabilities aimed at effectively countering any future incursion into Pakistani territory.
"The government and the people of Pakistan were ready to provide the armed forces all the necessary resources to bolster its defence and professional capabilities," Gilani said.
