Despite repeated warnings from Pakistan, the Interim Afghan Government (IAG) is continuing construction in disputed area, resulting in heavy cross-border shooting between Pakistan and Afghanistan near the Torkham-Jalalabad border.
Sources claim that during the exchange, a mortar round struck the Bacha Mena neighborhood of Torkham, seriously wounding customs clearing agent Ishaq Khan.
For the twelfth day in a row, the border is still blocked, preventing civilian travel and commerce.
According to reports, heavy armament has been used by both sides, raising tensions in the area.
