Three-front challenge

Pakistan faces a three-front security challenge involving India, cross-border terrorism from Afghanistan, and internal unrest. Provinces like Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and Balochistan experience escalating militant attacks from groups such as Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA), while Azad Jammu and Kashmir sees violent public protests. The security situation reflects expanded militant reach and political alienation in regions like Balochistan.
