Terrorism in Pakistan has seen a concerning resurgence in recent years, particularly in regions like Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan. Militant groups, including the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and other extremist factions, have intensified their attacks on security forces, government installations, and civilians.
Cross-border influences, especially following the Taliban’s return to power in Afghanistan, have emboldened these groups, leading to a rise in both frequency and sophistication of attacks. This growing threat has sparked fears of destabilization, especially in underdeveloped and conflict-prone areas where militant narratives often find fertile ground.
