A key reminder that Hafiz Gul Bahadur faction lost a number of it's fighters and commanders in raids recently conducted by Pakistani security forces in Waziristan. Now when they retaliated, Pakistan will say they came from Afghanistan, like when you conducted raids, they were in Pakistan but suddenly now they attacked from Afghanistan. Pakistan need to acknowledge that they don't have complete control over it's territories

.Pakistan has the history of blaming Afghanistan for it's security failures and then retaliating either by using their proxies (ISKP) or by randomly bombing civilian homes in border areas to show muscles.

July 15, 2024

Security forces foiled a terrorist attack in the Bannu cantonment area on Monday, Radio Pakistan reported.

Per the report, terrorists attempted to enter the high-security cantonment area by detonating an explosive-laden vehicle on the road linking the outer wall of the cantonment with the supply depot.

“Security forces foiled the terrorists’ attempt by taking timely action […] and have started a clearance operation,” the report said.

Area locals told Dawn.com that they heard two explosions near the cantonment at about 4:40am, followed by the sound of gunshots. They said houses and shops located near the site of the explosions were damaged following the blasts, adding that casualties are feared.

While the government has yet to release the details of casualties, a spokesperson for the government hospitals in Bannu, Muhammad Numan, told Dawn.com that eight people were left wounded in the attack.

“Naheed Bibi, 55, who was injured due to firing, was shifted to Peshawar,” he said, adding that others with minor injuries were discharged after treatment.

“Three women were injured due to firing while fragments from the blast also landed in their homes,” he added.

Heightened security concerns​

According to PIPS, terrorist attacks across the country surged to 59 in August, compared to July’s 38.

These incidents included 29 attacks in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, 28 in Balochistan and two in Punjab, killing 84 people and 166 others injured.

In the latest flare-up of violence, dozens of militants affiliated with the banned Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) launched numerous attacks across Balochistan last week, killing at least 50, including 14 security men.

In response to the deadly attacks, the country’s leaders pledged their full support to the Balochistan government in combating terrorism. The military also sped up its counterterrorism operations in KP and Balochistan, which are the most hard-hit by militancy.
