PESHAWAR: A Nato oil tanker was destroyed following an explosion in the Khyber tribal region on Thursday, DawnNews quoted security sources as saying.
No casualties were reported in the incident that occurred in the tribal region’s Landi Kotal area, the sources said.
The Pak-Afghan border highway was subsequently closed, resulting in a suspension of the supply to Nato forces in Afghanistan.
The bulk of Nato supplies trucked overland into Afghanistan are first shipped to Pakistan’s southern port of Karachi and driven to the northwestern crossing at Torkham or a southwestern crossing at Chaman, Balochistan. — DawnNews
