The Torkham border crossing between Pakistan and Afghanistan has been closed again after a sniper attack from across the border injured a Pakistani border guard. Earlier, during a temporary reopening of the gate, more than 400 Afghan nationals were repatriated. Security authorities said the incident triggered an immediate suspension of movement and a tightening of border controls, reinforcing that any attack on border personnel results in an immediate operational shutdown and a strict security response.
