CHAMAN: The Pakistan-Afghanistan border in Chaman was reopened Monday morning after more than a week’s closure following a deadly attack from the neighbouring country.
The border crossing — known as Friendship Gate — was closed last Sunday after the terror attack from the Afghan side that martyred a Frontier Corps (FC) soldier and injured two other personnel.
The Chaman border was closed after unidentified armed men opened fire on the Pakistani security troops from inside Afghanistan, martyring an FC soldier and injuring another two on November 13. Hundreds of trucks containing goods were stuck waiting on both sides of the border due to closure.
