According to the latest reports of Reuters, AFP and other media outlets, Pakistani officials said that Pakistan closed the border ports with Afghanistan on the 12th after a late-night fighting between the two countries' troops.

Reuters said local officials said that the two main border crossings between Pakistan and Afghanistan, Tokhan and Chaman, were closed that day, and at least three secondary crossings were also closed.

As of press time, the Afghan side has not yet responded to this.

Reuters and other media reported on the 11th that there was an exchange of fire in the border area between Pakistan and Afghanistan. The Afghan side claimed that it had taken "retaliatory actions" against Pakistan's "airspace violation". Pakistani officials said that Pakistan is doing its best to deal with the "unprovoked firing" by Afghanistan.

According to AFP, after the conflict between the two sides, Pakistani Prime Minister Shabaz strongly condemned Afghanistan's "provocation" and promised a "hard" response.
