A series of sporadic military engagements and confrontations between Pakistan and the United States, with the occasional support of Afghanistan, took place along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border from late 2008 to late 2012, resulting in the deaths of 55 Pakistani personnel with an unknown number of U.S. casualties. These incidents involved the U.S. Forces-Afghanistan Command and ISAF forces, who had been present in Afghanistan fighting the Taliban and al-Qaeda insurgency, and the unified Western military command of the Pakistan Armed Forces against one another in a series of skirmishes that culminated in the 2011 NATO attack in Pakistan. The skirmishes ceased shortly after, as two sides ultimately made peace and continued collaboration operations against insurgent groups in Pakistan following an official, but brief, apology from then-U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on 3 July 2012 over the loss of life suffered by the Pakistani military.
