KABUL (Pajhwok): Following talks between the two sides, Afghanistan and Pakistan reopened the Torkham border crossing for traffic on Saturday, an official said.
Some days back, Pakistan tried to construct a gate at the border to check what it called terrorist movements, but Afghan border guards resisted the attempt, as the government in Kabul does not accept the Durand Line as an international boundary.
Troops exchanged intermittent firing, leaving several security personnel dead and wounded on both sides. A Pakistan Army major succumbed to his wounds on Tuesday in Peshawar.
