Surge in Terrorism Incidents
A new Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) report shows alarming violence in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa over the last eight months. Authorities recorded 766 incidents, highlighting a worrying security situation.
Deaths and Arrests
These attacks resulted in 293 terrorist deaths and the arrest of 878 individuals. Despite this, more than 3,000 terrorists remain at large. The scale of uncontained threats underscores the continuing challenge for security forces.
District-Level Impact
Bannu emerged as the most severely affected district. The CTD confirmed 417 violent incidents there, causing 28 terrorist deaths and 92 arrests.
North Waziristan reported 124 attacks. Security forces identified 578 terrorists during operations, showing the scale of militant presence.
Lakki Marwat recorded 73 incidents, leading to 26 deaths, 52 arrests, and 27 terrorists killed. The district remains highly unstable.
Spread Across the Province
Dera Ismail Khan witnessed 66 incidents. These attacks left 102 people dead and resulted in 73 arrests.
In Peshawar, 32 terrorism incidents unfolded. Authorities arrested 184 suspects, with nine reported fatalities. The provincial capital’s continued targeting raises major concerns.
South Waziristan faced 63 attacks, leaving 20 terrorists dead and one arrested. This reflects persistent militant influence despite ongoing operations.
Smaller districts also endured violence. Orakzai, Dir, Karak, and Kurram recorded multiple incidents, with several deaths and arrests.
Persistent Security Challenge
The CTD report illustrates the rising scale of militancy across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Thousands of terrorists remain unapprehended, posing grave risks. Security forces face a daunting task as violence spreads across districts. The data highlights not only the intensity of terrorist networks but also the uneven effectiveness of district-level responses.
