Pakistan has voiced anger at Nato-led raids against insurgents which crossed over its border from Afghanistan.
Apache helicopters are said to have taken part in the weekend's operations, which killed more than 50 insurgents.
Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the raids, launched from Khost province, had violated its sovereignty.
The BBC's Adam Mynott in Islamabad says the comments were mainly aimed at a domestic audience, among which US military activity is often unpopular.
The International Security Assistance Force (Isaf) said it had crossed over the border into Pakistan after coming under fire in the Khost region of Afghanistan. It said 49 insurgents had been killed.
On Saturday, two Apache helicopters came under small-arms fire from the same area and again crossed the border, killing four to six insurgents, said Isaf.
Isaf said the raids had followed its rules of engagement in the region.
'Unacceptable'
But in a statement, Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the incidents had been "a clear violation and breach of the UN mandate under which Isaf operates".
It said Isaf's mandate ended at the Afghan border and there were "no agreed 'hot pursuit' rules" allowing Isaf troops to cross the border.
"Any impression to the contrary is not factually correct. Such violations are unacceptable," it said.
"In the absence of immediate corrective measures, Pakistan will be constrained to consider response options."

Islamabad backs much of the military action taking place against insurgents operating around the border region in Afghanistan, says our correspondent.
So the strong statement is largely directed at a domestic audience in Pakistan, he adds, among whom anti-American sentiment has been fuelled by the escalating numbers of drone attacks on targets in the country.
Isaf have not revealed the location of the operation or which country's forces were involved. It said no civilians were killed in the operation, but this has not been independently confirmed.
The raids followed an attack by insurgents on an Afghan security outpost in the eastern province of Khost.
Isaf's force was established by the UN in late 2001 with a stated mission of promoting security and development; it is also training Afghan soldiers and police.
