Afghan media reported last Wednesday that the Taliban took control of the key border crossing, Spin Boldak, and detained dozens of military officers and civilians.

The border crossing leads to the Pakistani province of Balochistan, which is known to house part of the Taliban command Quetta, where the movement's wounded receive treatment.

The crossing also links landlocked Afghanistan with the road leading to the Pakistani Karachi port on the Arabian Sea, its only gateway to the ocean.

"It is the most important corridor as a large portion of the trading between Pakistan and Afghanistan take place there," said Zahid Hafeez Chaudhri, the spokesperson for the Pakistani Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He added that more than 20,000 people cross it daily.

Chaudri added, "The livelihood of many people depends on it," stressing the importance of re-opening the border crossing as soon as possible after closing it due to the Taliban taking control of it.
