China and Vietnam have opened two new temporary border corridors, significantly boosting trade, tourism, and cultural exchange between the two nations. This move is expected to fuel economic growth and strengthen regional cooperation, building on a dramatic increase in border crossings this year.
A Jordanian truck driver opened fire at the Allenby Bridge border crossing between the West Bank and Jordan, killing three Israeli security officials. The attack came hours after Israeli airstrikes in Gaza and prompted Israel to close its land border crossings with Jordan. Jordan condemned the incident and launched an investigation.
In the second such incident in less than two weeks, North Korean troops crossed the border into South Korea, prompting South Korean soldiers to fire warning shots. The incident, which occurred in the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), highlights the heightened tensions and military activity along the heavily fortified border.
