One thing I may have overlooked is the fact is the possibility of relocating key members to the TTP training camps in Takhar Province - a common tactic seen by TTP during the periods of November until March. I recorded this in the incidents I mapped which all lead by to the TTP attacks noticing a downtick during these months as per monitoring. See graph figure 1 below:View attachment 154332
1. Ephidra grows wild in Afghanistan and is used in Drug manufacturing - it is difficult to ascertain location based on this feature alone.
2. The Nuristan Area experienced a shallow earthquake on the 10th of October 2025.

3. Limestones are the most important landmark is the highest concentration of Limestone as per this USGS map is located in and around the Nuristan Province.

Final Judgement: Based on this one image alone it is impossible to give an answer to the exact location with any degree of confidence, but what I have provided is my best guesstimate.

Figure 1: downward trend of terrorist attacks inside Pakistan from the TTP during the Months between Nov 20 and March 2021.

Notice the distance on Foot from Nuristan to Khyber and Takhar

My original assessment of the TTP relocating to Takhar is based on the UN Monitoring report UNSC monitoring report S/2025/71

This above assessment is further supported by analysis by the Royal United Services Institute, UK from 2021

NACTA report titled "Sources of Terrorism Financing in Pakistan" also mentioned India's increased financial support of the TTP indirectly through "brokers" and "Hawala"
