Torkham Gate Closure/Reopening

Post by Tariq »

Afghan Ministry of Defense reported clash between Afghan and Pakistani border forces near Torkham Gate. The confrontation began when Pakistani forces opened fire as Afghan security forces were setting up a checkpoint near the Durand Line, prompting the Afghans to return fire. As a result, the Torkham gate was closed yesterday and there has been no update on when it will reopen.

If you have any update please share in comments section 🙏
