The PTI is yet to issue a statement.

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has witnessed a resurgence of terrorism.

According to a report by Reuters, the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan is targeting Pakistan’s military and police while using sophisticated weapons, including weapons from the stock left behind by Western forces when they exited Afghanistan in 2021.

TTP is supported by the Taliban-led Afghan government.

Last month, two pol­i­cemen were killed and four others sustained injuries in militant attacks on census teams in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s sou­thern districts of Tank and Lakki Marwat.

In Tank’s Kot Azam area, terrorists opened fire at a police van deployed for the security of census staff while it was returning from a village. As a result, constable Khan Nawab was killed, while police constables Shah Nawaz and Aslam Khan, Levies official Bismillah, Frontier Constabulary official Abdullah and driver Eid Jan were reported to be injured.

Same day in another militant attack on a census team, a Frontier Reserve Police (FRP) police constable was killed in Pirwala area of the Lakki Marwat district when motorcyclists opened fire at the census team.

Earlier, a blast in Peshawar mosque inside a police compound claimed the lives of more than 60 people. The TTP 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.
