Over the past year, Pakistan has experienced a surge in terrorist activities, particularly in KP and Balochistan, following the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan’s decision to end its ceasefire with the government in November 2022.
A security report from the Centre for Research and Security Studies revealed that Pakistan faced 97 militant attacks in February alone, resulting in 87 fatalities and 118 injuries. Notably, the report highlighted a significant increase in violence in Balochistan, while tribal districts and mainland KP witnessed a decline.
