Bloodshed by TTP and Baloch Rebels Continues: Hundreds of Attacks in 6 Months, Security Forces Most Targeted

International News: Pakistan is paying for its actions. The terrorism that Pakistan nurtured has now become the enemy of its own life. Be it TTP or Baloch rebels, they have made life difficult for the Pakistani army. Not a single day passes without news of an attack and without a funeral in Pakistan. TTP has released a list of attacks from January till now. It has been claimed that till now 1377 attacks have been carried out on Pakistani security forces. It has also been claimed that 832 Pakistani security forces have been killed in these attacks.

1108 people were injured in these attacks and 57 have been kidnapped. TTP has also carried out 27 attacks on the Pakistani army in Balochistan while coming out of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. 

501 Attacks in 6 Months, Forces Targeted

 After the TTP released its figures, the Balochistan Home Department also published data on terrorist attacks from January 1 to July 11. According to the report, 501 attacks were recorded, resulting in 257 deaths and 492 injuries. Most attacks targeted Pakistani security forces, with 332 being direct assaults. Baloch rebels claimed responsibility, stating that 133 security personnel were killed and 338 injured. Ambushes, remote-controlled bombs, and grenades were commonly used. The department also shared data on attacks against non-locals, reporting a 100% increase compared to last year.
