This comes as pedestrian traffic through Pakistan's south-western Chaman border crossing has swiftly increased after the Taliban's hostile takeover of Afghanistan over the last few weeks.

The situation on the Afghan-Pakistani border has remained tense due to the influx of refugees from Afghanistan.

Last month, the province's Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) had overhauled its structure to make it responsive against future threats due to the unstable situation in Afghanistan.
