Balochistan: The 2nd most affected province with 136 people killed in 81 attacks. The Baloch separatist groups that claimed responsibility for the attacks include the BLA, the Balochistan Liberation Front, the Baloch Republican Guard and the United Baloch Army.
They carried out 81 attacks in 17 districts of Balochistan, including 19 in Ketch, 18 in Quetta and seven in Sibi. Security forces were the target of 66% of attacks. 10 attacks were carried out by religious extremist groups. Islamic State kills 11 miners in Bolan.

Punjab: A total of 5 attacks took place in Punjab in which 14 people were killed and 51 injured. TTP has killed 2 policemen in Rawalpindi. 3 were killed in an explosion outside the house of Hafiz Saeed, the leader of Jamaat-ud-Dawa.
7 people were killed by religious extremists in Dera Ghazi Khan and Bahawalnagar. Three policemen were killed by the TTP in Islamabad.
The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) still stands as a major challenge to Pakistan's security.
Security report presented the TLP movement as a major challenge, with violent protests killing 14 people and injuring 1,056 last year. As the protests continued, TLP activists killed two Ahmadis in Peshawar and Layyah. The extremism increased by 46% last year.
