Afghan Taliban’s Flags Being Hoisted In Gilgit-Baltistan

Published on

Afghan Taliban’s flags have reportedly been displayed on several streets and atop homes in Gilgit–Baltistan.

Social media users shared pictures of the Afghan Taliban’s flag, saying that the flags were displayed at several public places and houses in Gilgit.


Pakistan has witnessed a resurgence of terrorism with the outlawed Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) targeting security officials particularly.

TTP is supported by the Taliban-led Afghan government.

Earlier, a report stated at least 120 policemen were killed and 333 were injured in at least 77 attacks in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, mostly claimed by TTP.

In January, a blast in Peshawar mosque inside a police compound claimed the lives of more than 60 people. The TTP had claimed responsibility for one of the deadliest blasts in the city. Last month a police station in Peshawar was also targeted, resulting in three deaths. Meanwhile, the day after the deadly Peshawar attack, Punjab police thwarted an attack on a police station in Mianwali.
