Pakistan reopens Afghan border on 'humanitarian grounds'

QUETTA -- Pakistani authorities reopened the main Chaman border crossing at Afghanistan's request after shutting it down earlier this month when the two sides traded fire there, killing 15 people on both sides, the military said Saturday.

 

The move comes on the first day of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan in Pakistan. In a statement, the Pakistani military said the border was reopened Saturday on "humanitarian grounds." Kabul welcomed the decision.
