Pakistan’s military killed at least 30 terrorists near the Pakistan-Afghanistan border during a recent operation. The terrorists attempted to infiltrate from Afghan territory into North Waziristan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, but were intercepted by security forces who recovered weapons and explosives. The group was linked to the banned Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). This comes amid rising terrorist attacks in Pakistan, with 2024 marking a particularly deadly year. Pakistan accuses Afghanistan of harboring militants, a claim Kabul denies.
