Pakistan, Afghanistan border forces exchange fire at Torkham border crossing

| @indiablooms | 21 Feb 2023, 09:06 am

Islamabad: Pakistani and Afghanistan border forces exchanged gunfire at a key crossing in Northwestern Pakistan on Monday,  media reports said.

The Taliban administration in Afghanistan closes the essential commercial and transit route between Afghanistan and Pakistan, accusing Islamabad of breaching its commitments, reports Khaama Press.

The exchange of fire occurred just a  day after the Pakistani troops did not allow the movement of Afghan patients for medical purposes.

The Taliban authorities told Khaama Press that they had closed the Torkham border crossing following Pakistan’s failure to pledge that it would allow the movement of Afghan patients without valid travel documents for medical purposes.

Pakistan recently heightened security measures on the border with Afghanistan amid a worsening situation at the border.

As a result, Pakistan has tightened security measures and controls at the border crossing with Afghanistan due to security concerns and the movement of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan and other militants, officials told Khaama Press.
