Deadly shelling from Afghan forces has killed six people in a border town in Pakistan as relations continue to sour between the neighbouring countries.

The violence hitting Chaman in southwestern Pakistan follows a series of deadly incidents and attacks that have raised tensions with Afghanistan’s Taliban rulers. Chaman is the main border crossing for
trade between the two countries.
