Wave of terrorism in Pakistan
Pakistan has been hit by a wave of terror attacks in the recent past with political uncertainity making the matter worse in the country. Regions like Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan have witnessed multiple terror attacks ever since the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) discontinued ceasefire with the government in November last year.
As per a report, January 2023 turned out to be the deadliest month since 2018 with 134 people being killed in at least 44 terror attacks across the country.
Terrorists have been targeting security forces across the country even as the country's military declared a new offensive against banned militant groups, the Dawn reported.
