On Sunday, at least six Pakistani civilians and one Afghan soldier were killed in cross-border shelling and gunfire.
Afghan security sources said the clash started after Pakistani forces demanded Afghan forces stop building a new checkpost on their side of the border.
Reportedly, the situation had returned to normal after the two sides held a meeting.
Officials on both sides said that the busy Afghan border crossing at Chaman, used for trade and transit, was closed for some hours before reopening.
The crossing was closed for several days last month after similar clashes.
