Security forces killed 54 terrorists attempting to infiltrate from Afghanistan into Pakistan's North Waziristan district, marking the highest number of militants neutralised in a single engagement during the ongoing counterterrorism campaign, the ISPR said.
The country saw a dramatic 45 per cent increase in terrorism-related fatalities, with deaths rising from 748 in 2023 to 1,081 in 2024. This sharp surge marks one of the highest increases globally.
The GTI report, however, states that the Index does not include acts of state repression and violence by state actors. As such, acts committed by the Taliban are no longer included in the report's scope since they took control of the country.
