A key northwestern border crossing between Pakistan and Afghanistan reopened Friday after a nine-day closure due to clashes between border forces, officials from both sides said.<\/p>\n
Pakistan shut the Torkham border with its neighbor on September 6 after guards from both countries exchanged fire.<\/p>\n
It accused Taliban authorities of building “unlawful structures” in the vicinity.<\/p>\n
Pakistani government official Nasir Khan said the crossing reopened Friday morning. Afghanistan’s commissioner in Torkham, Ismatullah Yaqoob, said stranded trucks and pedestrians have started passing through the border.<\/p>\n
