The Taliban-controlled Bakhtar News Agency reported that 241 Afghan families were deported from Pakistan and Iran on Friday, October 4.

According to the report, these Afghan refugee families returned to Afghanistan from the Torkham, Spin Boldak, Pul-e-Abrisham, and Islam Qala crossings.

According to figures published by Bakhtar, 35 families entered Afghanistan through the Torkham crossing, 30 families from the Spin Boldak crossing, 77 families from the Silk Bridge crossing, and 99 families from the Islam Qala crossing.
