Pakistan has built checkpoints in Afghanistan's eastern Paktia province, local officials said.

Ayoub Gharwal, provincial council’s deputy, said that Pakistani military had built checkpoints in Gewe, Spina Shega and Oda Sar, areas where Afghan forces had their own checkpoints.
He said that there were no enough Afghan personnel to guard the Durand Line.
In 2017, Pakistan began building a fence on its disputed 2,500 km Durand Line, a line which is recognized as border by Pakistan, but not Afghanistan.
There have been reports that in some areas, Pakistani military has tried to build the fence across the line.
“It is astonishing to see the government is silent over Pakistan’ fencing, people have no idea what is that back deal that doesn’t allow preventing it,” said Syed Jamaludin, a resident in Paktia.
Paktia Governor Shamim Khan Katawzai confirmed Pakistani military’s building of two checkpoints in Dand-i-Patan of Paktia, but he said that Afghan forces pushed them back.
