The repatriation of Afghan refugees through the Chaman border restarted on Friday. It had been paused for a day after a deadly blast. The explosion occurred on Thursday near a taxi stand in Chaman. Six people were killed, and many others were injured. At the time, many Afghan families were at the border to return home.

Authorities suspended the repatriation process immediately after the blast. Security forces evacuated Afghan families from the border area for safety. On Friday, movement resumed after a full security sweep of the blast site. Officials said refugees were only allowed back once the area was cleared. The situation remained tense but under control.
