STORYLINE:

More than 800 Afghan refugees have returned to their homeland from neighboring Pakistan on Friday and Thursday, Afghanistan's Ministry for Refugees and Repatriation Affairs said Saturday.

A total of 837 refugees returned from Pakistan via the Torkham and Spin Boldak border crossing points to Afghanistan, the ministry said in a statement posted on its X account.

The Pakistani government reportedly started the second phase of sending back Afghan migrants from April 15, and more than 550,000 Afghan refugees returned from Pakistan in the first phase, according to Afghan officials.

The Afghan caretaker government has repeatedly urged Afghan migrants living abroad to return home and contribute to rebuilding their war-torn country.
