Pakistan is grappling with one of its most severe periods of internal conflict, marked by a significant surge in terror attacks. A recent security audit reveals a staggering 25% increase in violence this year, specifically noted in 2025, making it one of the deadliest in recent memory.
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa stands as the epicentre of this crisis, accounting for over two-thirds of the nations fatalities. Balochistan has also witnessed severe attacks, claiming nearly 900 lives.
In just 11 months, Pakistan has recorded over 1,100 terror incidents, including clashes and bombings, resulting in more than 3,000 deaths – an average of 15 casualties daily. This unrelenting bloodshed is attributed by Islamabad to the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), whose affiliates have intensified operations since their ceasefire collapsed in late 2022.
Despite security forces neutralising nearly 1,800 militants, a 30% rise from last year, civilians and frontline personnel continue to bear a heavy cost. The sustained aggression highlights intensifying cross-border tensions and a complex security challenge for the nation.
