BASRA, Iraq, April 4 (Reuters) - Passenger movement has returned to normal at the Shalamcheh ‌border crossing between Iraq and Iran ‌after it was closed following air strikes on the Iranian ​side that killed an Iraqi citizen, security sources and state news agency said on Saturday.

The crossing serves as one of the main routes for ‌imports to Iraq ⁠of vegetables and other food supplies from Iran, traders and border officials ⁠say. Any prolonged disruption can quickly affect supplies to local markets.

The sources said at least ​five Iraqis ​were seriously wounded in ​the strikes, which ‌hit a passenger reception area on the Iranian side.

Iraqi police recovered the body of a man, while the wounded were taken to hospital, most in critical condition.

A few hours after the ‌strikes near Shalamcheh, Iraqi border ​authorities also briefly halted movement ​at the ​Safwan crossing with Kuwait after reporting ‌explosions on the Kuwaiti side, ​Iraqi security ​and border officials said.

The officials added they saw drones hovering overhead moments before the ​blasts.
