It's been almost two months since Pakistan closed the two key border crossings into Afghanistan used to supply NATO troops in Afghanistan, and though alternate routes have kept the supplies flowing, the financial cost has been substantial.

The officials said 12 soldiers were wounded in the attack in the Mohmand Agency area, one of seven districts of the volatile region bordering Afghanistan.

Police officer Mohammad Tayab says the Chaman border crossing was closed "for security reasons" after an explosion on Thursday killed a bomb disposal expert who was trying to defuse the device.

An unarmed drone has crashed along the border of Afghanistan's Kandahar province and Pakistan's Baluchistan province, apparently brought down by a mechanical error, according to Pakistani military officials in the area.
