Pakistan has witnessed an increase in terrorist incidents since the Taliban rulers returned to Afghanistan in 2021, particularly in the border provinces of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Baluchistan.
However, the first quarter of 2025 saw some promising tendencies in the Pakistan security scene, with the deaths of militants and insurgents exceeding in number the cumulative losses of civilians and the personnel of the security forces.
Its key findings, issued by the Center for Research and Security Studies (CRSS) revealed significantly less fatal losses between civilians and security forces compared to the fourth quarter (fourth quarter) of 2024 and a reduction of almost 13% in general violence, the news reported.
Despite progress, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and Baluchistan remain epicentres of violence, representing 98% of all deaths, with attacks that grow bolder tactics and militants that evolve, including unprecedented kidnapping of the Express Jaffar.
The projections warn about more than 3,600 deaths.
Individually, Baluchistan suffered 35% of all deaths in the period under review, and compared to the last quarter, recorded an alarming 15% increase in violence. The comparison ignores the increase registered in other provinces/ regions, since the number of deaths remains very low.
