TORKHAM
On the 14th day of reopening of the Torkham border, 2,635 more Afghan nationals who were living in Pakistan left for Afghanistan on November 14.
According to official sources, Pakistani authorities reopened the Torkham border for the swift repatriation of Afghan refugees.
The Afghan nationals, including women and children, left for Afghanistan after their registration in NADRA centers.
The Torkham border is still closed for trade activities and pedestrian traffic.
On November 1, 2025, Pakistan partially reopened the Torkham border crossing with Afghanistan to allow thousands of stranded Afghan refugees to return home.
Restrictions remain in place for all other cross-border movements, including trade.
Pakistan closed all border crossings with Afghanistan on Oct. 12 following deadly clashes in which both sides claimed to have killed dozens of troops.
The closure, which lasted nearly three weeks, left thousands of Afghan refugees stranded along with hundreds of trucks carrying goods, suspending key trade routes between the two countries.
