Islamabad/New Delhi  - India's Air Force (IAF) Sunday dismissed reports that its fighter jets had violated Pakistan's airspace and said they had received no complaint from Islamabad.

Responding to Pakistan's allegations that Indian military aircraft had entered its airspace late on Saturday night, an IAF spokesman in Delhi said, "There has not been any airspace violation by Indian Air Force as has been alleged".

Citing the Pakistani Air Force, broadcaster GEO TV reported that the Indian fighter jets flew over the Pakistani part of divided Kashmir and near Lahore.

The report said Pakistani jets intercepted the Indian combat aircraft and forced them to return to their side of the disputed border.

IAF officials denied the accusations. "There is no truth in the charges, it is all rubbish," a senior IAF official said. "We haven't even received any complaint from the Pakistani side."

The PTI news agency reported that Pakistani Information Minister Sherry Rehman said the matter had been taken up with the Indian authorities, who had described the violations as "inadvertent."

Fragile relations between India and neighbouring Pakistan, which are both nuclear powers, have worsened since last month's terrorist attacks in Mumbai, where an alleged Pakistani militant group killed more that 170 people. (dpa)
