Rising Terror Incidents in KP and Balochistan
Terrorist incidents have increased significantly in Pakistan, especially in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and Balochistan. The TTP ended its ceasefire agreement with the government in November 2022. Since then, the group has claimed responsibility for attacks on security forces and police. Earlier in September, forces foiled a similar attack on the FC headquarters in Bannu district. That clash resulted in six martyred soldiers and five dead terrorists.
