Security forces in Pakistan’s South Waziristan district killed four terrorists, including a suicide bomber, after foiling an attack on a checkpost. A prior attack in Tank district resulted in 15 deaths, including 14 security personnel, as violence in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) has surged, according to the 2025 Annual Security Report.

A terrorist attack on a joint police checkpost in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Tank district killed 15 people, including 14 security personnel. The attack, attributed to Fitna-al-Khawarij (linked to banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan), involved an explosive-laden vehicle and resulted in significant infrastructure damage. Security forces eliminated 12 attackers and are conducting a sanitization operation.

Pakistan's security forces killed 29 terrorists in ground operations and airstrikes along the Pak-Afghan border, targeting groups including Jamaatul Ahrar and Fitna al Khawarij. The operation followed recent attacks on security personnel, including a Karachi Rangers Sindh camp, and was part of a broader counter-terrorism campaign.

A soldier was killed and 14 terrorists were killed during a security operation in Balochistan's Basima district, according to ISPR. The operation targeted the Indian proxy group Fitna al Hindustan, who were planning attacks on a police station and banks. Security forces destroyed vehicles and IEDs, and sanitization efforts continue in the area.
