More than 90 lorries supplying Western forces in Afghanistan have been set on fire in a suspected militant attack in north-west Pakistan, police say.
Police said at least one person was killed as more than 250 gunmen using rockets overpowered the guards at a terminal near the city of Peshawar.
Some of the lorries were laden with Humvee armoured vehicles.
This is the most serious in a series of recent such raids by suspected pro-Taleban militants, analysts say.
The road from Peshawar to Afghanistan is a major supply route for US and Western forces battling against the Taleban.
The US military says the latest incident will not affect its operations.
But, with 300 lorries crossing the border each day, operations will suffer if such attacks continue, says the BBC's Martin Patience in the Afghan capital, Kabul.
