Pakistan closes Torkham border shortly after Taliban reopened it

Pakistan has closed Torkham border hours after the Taliban reopened it today following the group shut it for four days blaming Pakistan of breaching its commitments. The group, once again, has asked Afghan people not to travel through the border until further notice.

“The Torkham gate has been closed by the Pakistani side after the Islamic Emirate authorities reopened it,” media office of Taliban governor for Nangarhar province said in a tweet today, asking Afghans to avoid traveling through the border until further notice.
