The Pakistan Air Force says Indian fighter jets have "briefly violated" the country's airspace in the east.
It said in a Tuesday statement that two 'high-speed' Indian aircraft entered the country's airspace from its Punjab Province at about 10:40 am (0540 GMT).
The statement added that the warplanes left Pakistani airspace two minutes later.
There have been no reactions from Indian officials on the alleged intrusion.
The two nuclear-armed archrivals have reported several such airspace intrusions in the past.
India also has repeatedly accused its neighbor and arch-rival of some degree of involvement in attacks over its major cities in recent years.
Pakistan, which has firmly denied allegations of involvement, has asked India to share information and has urged New Delhi to refrain from blaming Islamabad.
The two countries have fought three major wars since their partition in 1947, but have taken steps to improve relations in recent years.
