Pakistan’s government cut off a critical cross-border supply route for U.S. and NATO troops in Afghanistan on Thursday in apparent retaliation for an alleged coalition helicopter strike that killed three Pakistani soldiers.
Pakistani authorities, who had previously threatened to stop protecting NATO convoys if the coalition incursions into Pakistan continued, on Thursday barred NATO trucks from carrying supplies through the Torkham border crossing near the city of Peshawar in the country’s northwest.
