An overnight exchange of gunfire and shelling at a major Pakistan-Afghanistan border crossing killed four civilians and one soldier, Afghan officials said Saturday.
This is the latest flare-up of fighting between the two countries despite a ceasefire since deadly clashes in October.
Five other civilians were wounded, an Afghan government spokesman, Hamdullah Fitrat, said in a video statement.
The local hospital at the Pakistani border town of Chaman said three people suffered minor injuries during the fighting.
