Pakistan's army spokesman has made clear that its forces will not tolerate incursions into Pakistani territory.
His remarks come a day after Pakistani troops were reported to have fired shots into the air to stop US troops crossing into South Waziristan.
Tension is rising in Pakistan over an increase in US attacks along the border with Afghanistan.
America's top military commander, Adm Michael Mullen, is in Pakistan on an unannounced visit, the Pentagon says.
He is due to meet Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani and army chief Gen Ashfaq Kayani to discuss the border operations, officials say.
Meanwhile, British Justice Secretary Jack Straw has said operations along the border should be done "in a way that is not counterproductive".
