Pak-Afghan forces clash at Chaman border
Pakistani and Afghan forces had a big fight at their border in a place called Chaman.
Both sides said the other started it by shooting and using big guns.
Pakistan said three people got hurt, but Afghanistan said four people were killed and four were hurt.
The fight happened at a border crossing called Friendship Gate that connects Pakistan to Afghanistan.
The two countries had agreed to stop fighting last month, but it didn't really happen because the Afghan Taliban didn't stop attacking Pakistan.
The fight lasted for about two hours.
Pakistan says Afghanistan is hiding groups that attack Pakistan, but the Taliban says that's not true.
Both sides are blaming each other for the fight.
Pakistani and Afghan forces exchanged fire at the Chaman border in Balochistan province around 10:30 pm on Friday night.
Both sides accused each other of initiating the conflict with unprovoked attacks.
Pakistan reported three injuries, while Afghanistan claimed four deaths and four injuries among civilians.
The incident occurred at the Friendship Gate border crossing, which connects Balochistan to Afghanistan's Kandahar.
Tensions remain high between Pakistan and Afghanistan due to allegations of the Afghan Taliban not preventing terrorist attacks in Pakistan and sheltering militant groups.
