Afghan-Pakistan border crossing reopens a week after fighting

More than a week after it was shut down due to a gunfight between border guards, the Torkham border crossing between Afghanistan and Pakistan reopened to pedestrians and cars early on Friday, according to a senior official who spoke to AFP.

“The clearance of trucks is in progress, and Afghan citizens are entering Afghanistan after clearance and passing immigration processes,” Irshad Khan Mohmamd, assistant commissioner of the Khyber district in Pakistan, told AFP.
