Peshawar: Pakistani and Afghan forces exchanged gunfire at a key border crossing early Monday. The site has been closed for more than a week due to a dispute between the two neighbouring countries.

Pakistan has objected to the construction of a new border post by Afghanistan, due to which the crossing has been closed for 11 days.
