A total of 480 Afghan refugee families returned to Afghanistan from Pakistan and Iran on Sunday.
The returnees received basic assistance at border crossing points upon arrival, according to Xinhua.
Last week, around 3,300 families returned as part of the ongoing repatriation process. An estimated 7m Afghans remain abroad, while approximately 2m have returned in the last year, primarily from Pakistan and Iran, where authorities have urged illegal migrants to leave.
