Security forces kill terrorists in two separate engagements across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, according to an Inter-Services Public Relations statement released on Friday. Security Forces Kill Terrorists Amid Rising ThreatsPakistan has seen an increase in militant activity, especially in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan, since the Afghan Taliban assumed power in 2021. Authorities have repeatedly urged the Afghan Taliban administration to act against organizations using Afghan soil for cross-border strikes. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa recorded more than 61 percent of the deaths, totaling 475, while Balochistan saw 34 percent, or 265. In summary, the latest actions show security forces kill terrorists linked to external sponsors while maintaining pressure under Azm-e-Istehkam to restore lasting peace in affected regions.
