Clashes at closed Afghan-Pakistan border, tear gas

Hundreds of people, mostly Afghan nationals, continued to protest on Sunday over the closure of the Chaman border crossing between Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Security forces used tear gas as they clashed with Afghans wanting to enter Afghanistan from Pakistan, who responded by throwing stones.

The key border crossing has been shut by the Taliban since October 5.

Pakistan's foreign minister on Thursday said his country was will keep its border with Afghanistan open around the clock to support bilateral trade and the new Taliban-led government.

He also announced a humanitarian aid worth 5 billion rupees (about $280 million) to Afghanistan.

He said Pakistan will also try to resume flights with Kabul, which were suspended this month.
