CHAMAN:
Authorities on Saturday partially reopened a key crossing with Afghanistan, days after the Taliban took control of the Afghan border town in a rapid offensive across the country.
Pakistan shut off the border when the militants captured Spin Boldak from Afghan government forces on Wednesday, leaving thousands of people stranded on either side and trade at a standstill.
A Pakistani border official, who did not want to be named, told AFP that people were being allowed to enter Pakistan in small groups, while hundreds were heading into Afghanistan. An AFP journalist witnessed people crossing in both directions.
