5,397 terror incidents took place in Pakistan during the last year, of which 3,811 were reported from KP (71pc), 1,557 from Balochistan (29pc) and 29 from other areas.

Lieutenant General Chaudhry also said that Afghans were involved in major terrorist incidents in Pakistan in 2025.

Moreover, 2,597 terrorists were killed in Pakistan in 2025, the DG ISPR said. Among them, 1,800 were killed in KP, 784 in Balochistan and 10 in other areas.

Last year, he continued, 1,235 law enforcement personnel and civilians were martyred in the fight against terrorism during 2025.

Sharing data about incidents of suicide bombing, he said a total of 27 had taken place in 2025. Of them, 16 took place in KP, 10 in Balochistan and one in Islamabad, at the judicial complex.

“Out of them, two [involved] female suicide bombers.”

In light of these facts and figures, he said, the question that came to mind was why the majority of terror incidents took place in KP.
 
The DG ISPR highlighted that data show that terrorism began rising from 2021. And a total of 193 terrorists were killed in comparison to 592 law enforcement personnel being martyred that year, he said, adding that it was a ratio of 1:3.

Moving to 2025, he pointed out that 2,597 terrorists were killed during last year and 1,235 law enforcement personnel were martyred. This would reduce to a ratio of 2:1, he added.

“But, more importantly, what happened in 2021 that terrorism rose?” he questioned, and went on to elaborate on the reason behind this development.

The DG ISPR explained that there was a change in Afghanistan in 2021 following the Doha Agreement.

“An armed group, the Afghan Taliban, sat down with the US and international partners and enter an agreement. Under the agreement, they made three commitments — that they will form an inclusive government in Afghanistan, use of Afghan soil for terrorism will not be allowed and women will be given rights [in Afghanistan],” the DG ISPR recalled.

But were the commitments fulfilled, the military spokesperson questioned.

“They were not. Is there a government there? There is no government there. They [just] call themselves interim Afghan government […] Is there an inclusive government there? No, there is not.

“Has terrorism been eradicated [from Afghanistan]? Contrarily, Afghanistan becomes a hub of terrorists and non-state actors. Terrorists of different creeds operate from there. So that is what started happening in 2021.”

Naming various terror outfits that the DG ISPR said were operating from Afghanistan, he said it had become a “centre point where terrorists of all kinds are being nurtured”.

He said recently, around 2,500 terrorists, who were neither Afghans nor Pakistanis, had reached Afghanistan from Syria.
 
The military spokesperson further said that modern US equipment worth $7.2bn was left behind in Afghanistan. It included night-vision devices, long-range sniper rifles, bulletproof jackets, protection equipment, M-4 and M-16 — “the best of weapons and ammunition”.

This equipment was “available to the Afghan Taliban, in the black market, to all these terrorist organisations”.

Moreover, the political party in power in Pakistan in 2021 began “internally facilitating [terrorists]” and decided to hold talks with them while a “great game was being played there (Afghanistan)“.

This seemingly was a reference to talks held between the then-Pakistan government and the TTP.

The DG ISPR went on to say that “once you give them (terrorists) so much space and so much wherewithal, you see a [rise] in terror incidents”.
 
The military’s spokesperson acknowledged that questions were also raised on the large number of terror incidents — 5,397 in 2025.

“Yes, this is a big number. Why? Because we are engaging them everywhere. We are doing 75,000 IBOs, 206 every day, and we are taking them on.

“By we, I mean myself, you and everyone in Pakistan. We have absolute clarity that we have to win this fight, not by appeasement, but by force and strength. Because there are a few things in life fighting for which is not just justified but also necessary, and there is no option other than that.”

He said when terrorism had reared its head in other countries, it had destroyed states. “But your state, your law enforcement agencies and your army are fighting on a daily basis.”

Referring to a chart, he said it could be deduced from the data that after Pakistan defeated India during a four-day conflict in May 2025, a surge was seen in terrorism. After its defeat, “Indians immediately put in efforts into non-state actors”.

Monitoring: 🚨🚨

‼️A video is going viral on social media in which Kharijites are preparing to make a bomb inside a mosque, and the surprising thing is that children are also present during this time.

Kharijites not only use places of worship for their nefarious purposes but also toy with the lives of innocent children.

National Peace Message Committee's Visit to Peshawar Under the Leadership of Mufti Abdul Rahim Sahib

Mufti Abdul Rahim Sahib paid tribute to the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and the police, FC, and army personnel who have sacrificed their lives there.

His Eminence emphasized that the scholars of Pakistan in general and particularly those of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa should play a full role against the Fitna of Khawarij.

His Eminence, in clear and unambiguous words, held the Afghan government responsible for terrorism in Pakistan and stated that they are destroying Pakistan's peace for Israel and India.

His Eminence conveyed a message to Pakistan's political and religious political parties that the time has come to make the nation aware of the reality of this Fitna of Khawarij and their patrons, the Afghan Taliban.

If we still do not speak the full truth, we too will be partners in the crimes of the Khawarij.

The Governor of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa paid tribute to the National Peace Message Committee and assured full cooperation in the war against terrorism.

The Kharijite insurgency uses the local population as a human shield and hides among the people, raining down these blind rockets that fall only on the homes of the public.

After that, the Kharijites and their political wing propagate that the forces are targeting the local population, even though the damage is caused by the blind shells they themselves have fired.

📍 According to the international journal The Diplomat, Pakistan has emerged as the country most adversely affected by the Taliban regime’s rule.

📍 In 2021, Pakistan viewed the Taliban’s return to power as an opportunity for regional stability, but the outcomes proved to be the opposite, The Diplomat reports.

📍 Pakistan extended extensive diplomatic and humanitarian support to the Taliban, yet despite this, the country’s internal security situation continued to deteriorate, according to The Diplomat.

📍 Following the Taliban’s return, Pakistan faced a renewed wave of terrorism, The Diplomat notes.

📍 Terrorist groups including the TTP, Al-Qaeda, and ISIS-Khorasan remain active in Afghanistan, as highlighted by The Diplomat.

📍 Afghan soil continues to be used for launching terrorist attacks against Pakistan, The Diplomat reports.

📍 Among cross-border attacks originating from Afghanistan, militants of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) are the most heavily involved, according to The Diplomat.

📍 The involvement of Afghan nationals in terrorist incidents inside Pakistan has reportedly reached up to 70 percent, The Diplomat states.

📍 India has re-established its diplomatic presence in Kabul and rapidly expanded engagement with the Taliban leadership, The Diplomat notes.

📍 Growing ties between the Taliban and India are emerging as a serious security concern for Pakistan, according to The Diplomat.

📍 Pakistan has sacrificed more than 80,000 lives in the war against terrorism, The Diplomat reports.

📍 Initially, Pakistan prioritized dialogue, mediation, and regional diplomacy over confrontation, The Diplomat states.

📍 Pakistan pursued bilateral talks, religious mediation, and regional diplomatic efforts to resolve the issue, according to The Diplomat.

📍 With mediation by the United Arab Emirates, an agreement was reached to relocate TTP militants away from border areas, The Diplomat reports.

📍 Despite assurances, the Taliban took no concrete action against the TTP, The Diplomat notes.

📍 Due to the Taliban’s failure to honor commitments, Pakistan adopted a strategy combining dialogue with limited military action, according to The Diplomat.

📍 As a result, Pakistan was compelled to target TTP hideouts inside Afghanistan in September and October 2025, The Diplomat reports.

📍 Even then, Pakistan did not completely close diplomatic channels, with Türkiye and Qatar continuing to play mediatory roles between Pakistan and the Taliban, The Diplomat states.
