The move escalates the ongoing tensions over this critical trade route between the two countries. The Ministry issued a statement indicating that the 22-day closure of the border crossing was a direct consequence of Taliban efforts to construct security posts within Pakistani territory.

The Taliban insisted that the structures were being built within Afghanistan's borders. This event took place on 03/14/2025 at the following location: Torkham, Afghanistan.
