The Pak-Afghan Kharlachi border, which had been closed since September 21 due to violent clashes between tribes in the Kurram district, has been reopened for trade and transportation today.

According to border officials, several vehicles loaded with goods have already resumed their journeys to their respective destinations. The closure, which halted all commercial activities for nine days, was a result of the deadly tribal conflict that also led to the shutdown of all access routes in the area.
