In 2023, Pakistan witnessed 1,524 violence-related fatalities and 1,463 injuries from 789 terror attacks and counter-terror operations, including nearly 1,000 fatalities among civilians and Security Forces (SFs) personnel, Dawn reported on January 1 quoting annual security report issued by the Centre for Research and Security Studies (CRSS).

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan provinces were the primary centres of violence, accounting for over 90 per cent of all fatalities and 84 per cent of attacks, including incidents of terrorism and SF operations, recorded during this period. Punjab and Sindh were relatively peaceful as together, both these provinces suffered only 8 per cent of all fatalities in 2023. CRSS data claimed that the year 2023 recorded an alarming surge in violence by about 56 per cent — an unprecedented escalation in the last 10 years, with the overall number of fatalities increasing from 980 in 2022 to 1,524 in 2023.

The caretaker Prime Minister Anwaarul Haq Kakar on January 1 took exception to the support lent to Baloch protesters, who have been staging a sit-in in Islamabad for more than a week for the recovery of their loved ones and extra-judicial killings in the province, reports Dawn. PM Kakar who spent more than 15 minutes of a 20-minute press conference on the issues of Balochistan at Lahore’s Central Business District, appeared visibly irked. Speaking about those who are supporting the Baloch protest, PM Kakar said they could go join the Baloch militants. “Advocates of terrorists in Balochistan should go and join them if they are convinced on the veracity of their issue and fight the state along with them, so that we know where they stand and how to deal with them,” he said, alluding to rights activists and journalists standing with the Baloch marchers. Responding to the media on the issue of Police violence against Baloch protesters in Islamabad, the PM Kakar said that some of the people — media persons included — were trying to “mislead everyone, turning themselves into fake heroes of human rights and damaging the state”. The caretaker PM insisted that those protesting in Islamabad are the “relatives of those fighting against the state” in Balochistan. He, however, added that the state had a beef with militant outfits, not the Baloch people. “We still respect their right to protest because their dear and near ones disappeared. But they should also know that they [militants] were fighting against the state, with the help of RAW funding and aided by India. It is an armed rebellion, with foreign help,” he added.

Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Qazi Faez Isa underscored the Supreme Court's resolve on January 2 to conclusively address the issue of missing persons and enforced disappearances, and said that it should be solved "once and for all", reports The Express Tribune. However, he cautioned against politicising the matter. "We cannot grant you permission to make the matter political." The hearing was presided over by CJP Isa with Justice Musarrat Hilali and Justice Muhammad Ali Mazhar completing the three-member bench. The proceedings were broadcast live on the apex court's website and national news channels. As the hearing commenced, Justice Isa emphasised the importance of collective responsibility, the CJP said “This country belongs to all of us, even those who may have other points of view”. “This matter will only be resolved when we all work together and take responsibility. Let’s make Pakistan strong from within. If Pakistan is strong from within, no outside forces can touch it.” Petition Khushdil Khan Malik prayed to the court for instructions to the Government to enact legislation on the issue of missing persons. Justice Mazhar stated that a commission related to enforced disappearances has been formed. The petitioner argued that the Commission of Inquiry on Enforced Disappearances was formed under the chairmanship of Justice (retd) Javed Iqbal, but has not made much headway so far. He further prayed that a notice should be issued to the Government regarding its lack of action in enacting the said legislation. The chief justice observed that the court does not have the authority to order the parliament to enact legislation and inquired under which article of the Constitution can the court take such a step. He maintained that all institutions of the country need to stay within their constitutional limits. Justice Mazhar added that the court does not have the power to legislate and can only declare enacted legislation null and void if they are contrary to the Constitution.

The Federal Ministry of Interior on January 2 informed the Senate (upper house of parliament) that the continuous influx of Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) cadres in significant numbers, with recruitment, training and placing of suicide bombers, in the merged Districts [Erstwhile Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA)] of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is “a cause of concern”, reports Dawn. The Interior Ministry, in a written response during question hour, highlighted the TTP’s reorganisation and operational expansion during the peace talks in 2022, which has significantly increased its militant activities. “It has given significant rise to its activities and is seeking the support of other militant groups to increase strength and capabilities. It is mostly concentrated in KP, especially merged districts, with footprints in Balochistan and trying to activate its network in the country,” Ministry said. “The arrival of tashkeels of TTP in significant numbers continue in merged districts along with recruitment, training and placing of suicide bombers is a cause of concern,” the Ministry added. The Interior Ministry said Daesh (Islamic State) was also trying to establish a foothold in Pakistan and resorted to terrorist activities against Shias and religious minority communities to ignite sectarian strife. It said fencing along the western borders of Pakistan had largely been completed to further strengthen the state mechanism of curbing the illegal movement from across the border. However, it pointed out that the two organisations, particularly the TTP, continued to sabotage the fence. The Interior Ministry said data of 1.45 million registered refugees was updated and expanded through the issuance of smart identity cards. “The cards contain basic information, including biometric data, and are compatible with the local systems,” it said. It said the rationale for updating and documenting data was to strictly monitor individuals involved in criminal and terrorist activities. The Senate was also informed that more than 500,000 illegal immigrants have been repatriated so far under the Government’s deportation drive against illegal aliens. “Around 1.7 million illegal aliens are unlawfully living in the country, the majority of whom are Afghans. They are living without any legal documentation necessary for staying in the country,” the Ministry added. It said 541,210 people had been sent back after the cabinet’s approval of the deportation plan for illegal residents. Besides, close to 1.15m were still residing in the country, the Ministry said, adding that efforts were underway to identify and deport the remaining people. 271,985 people were repatriated via Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and 159,161 through Balochistan.

Use of drones to smuggle arms and narcotics from across the border into Indian territory will be over in the next six months as an indigenous anti-drone technology is being developed to check all such misadventures by the anti-national elements, a senior government functionary said, Daily Excelsior reports on January 3. Security agencies are working on as many as three designs of the anti-drone technology and the final outcome could be three or a combination of all three. “The menace of smuggling in arms and narcotics from across the border through the use of drones will be over in the next six months. Definitely the anti-drone technology will be placed by then,” the functionary said. Trials on the new technology are going on and it is in advance stage of finalisation. Dropping of arms, ammunition and narcotics from Pakistan by using the drones or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in Punjab and Jammu and Kashmir has been a major problem for security agencies for several years now.

According to the Pak Institute for Peace Studies’ Pakistan (PIPS) security report for 2023, the banned outfits like the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), Islamic State Khorasan (IS-K), and Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) accounted for over 82 per cent of terrorism-related deaths and conducted 78 per cent of terrorist attacks recorded in 2023, reports Dawn. The report said militants’ intensifying attacks indicate that the TTP and its affiliates will continue to resort to an intensified terrorism onslaught with a view to ‘force’ Pakistan to reinstate the process of dialogue. The PIPS report highlights Pakistan’s inadequate response to the rising terrorism and militancy challenge, exacerbated by negotiation attempts with the TTP and waning political focus due to ongoing crises. Escalating tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan, fuelled by issues like TTP and Afghan refugees, demand a comprehensive and sustainable counterterrorism strategy, report added. The report correlates a surge in terrorist violence with the Taliban’s ascendancy in Afghanistan, noting the Afghan Taliban’s inability or unwillingness to control TTP’s cross-border activities. In 2023, security and law enforcement agencies intensified anti-militant kinetic actions with 129 operational strikes, compared to 87 in 2022, resulting in 425 deaths and 51 injuries. Of these strikes, 97 occurred in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), 28 in Balochistan, three in Punjab, and one in Karachi, Sindh. A total of 306 terrorist attacks took place in Pakistan in the year — including 23 suicide bombings — which killed 693 people (330 security personnel, 260 civilians, and 103 militants) and injured 1,124 others. These attacks marked an increase of 17pc from the year before, and the number of people killed in these attacks also represented an increase of 65pc from those killed in similar attacks during the previous year. That comparative upsurge of 17 per cent in terrorist violence was contributed by an increase in the number of attacks reported from all four provinces. Compared to 2022, the frequency of terrorist incidents in the Balochistan province increased by 39 per cent, in KP by 3 per cent, in Sindh by 87 per cent and in Punjab by 100 per cent.

Islamic State (IS) threat is increasing with growing radicalisation in India and terror group’s entry into the war theatre in West Asia is dangerous for Indian youth, top intelligence sources stated on January 5, reports news18.com. India has a huge number of IS sympathisers and the neighbourhood has seen many attacks by operatives linked to the group like in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and the Maldives, they said, adding that such attacks are ongoing and continuous in these countries. “India also faces a strong ISIS threat but due to continuous interventions we have been able to avert these attacks so far,” said an unnamed official. “Though we have not seen major ISIS cadres in India, we can’t rule it out.” “But we have seen the Coimbatore attack by Jamesha Mubeen who was influenced by Sri Lanka ISIS attacker Zehran Hashim in 2019,” an official said. “He was not successful, but he could have killed 50 people easily. Mangaluru attempt by Shariq who wanted to create a blast through a pressure cooker to attack Kadri Temple could have also killed around 20 people.”

Daily Excelsior reported on January 13 that security agencies have stepped up focus on human intelligence while going ahead with use of technology even as the Army proposed to launch Operation Sarvshakti on both sides of Pir Panjal range to finish off the terrorists in twin border districts of Rajouri and Poonch which have witnessed surge in terror attacks since last year resulting into killing of 19 Army soldiers in four incidents. “After technology took centre-stage in tracing the terrorists and Over Ground Workers (OGWs), dependence of security agencies on human intelligence had come down though it wasn’t completely over. However, the adversary too took advantage of technology in keeping locations of the terrorists’ secret. With terror activities rising in Rajouri and Poonch, the focus has been back on human intelligence,’’ the officials said. The operations are being launched in close monitoring by the Army Headquarters and the Northern Army Command in Udhampur and were planned soon after Home Minister Amit Shah held a security meeting with all stakeholders including National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, Army, intelligence agencies including both internal and external ones and police officials from Jammu and Kashmir and Central agencies in New Delhi on January 2. Army has also started the process of inducting more troops in the Rajouri-Poonch sector. The operations are expected to be on the lines of Operation Sarpvinash, which was launched in Hill Kaka in 2003 to eliminate terrorists in the South of Pir Panjal range.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on January 13, said it has filed a chargesheet against eight people in connection with the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) prison radicalisation and suicide attack conspiracy case, reports The Indian Express. The case was originally registered by the Bengaluru city police on July 18, 2023, following the seizure of arms, ammunition, hand grenades, and walkie-talkies from the house of one of the accused. According to the NIA, the probe revealed that T Naseer, who was involved in several blast cases, had come in contact with the other accused while they were all lodged in Bengaluru prison in 2017. Naseer has been serving a life sentence since 2013, while two other accused, Junaid Ahmed and Salman Khan, are suspected to have fled abroad. The remaining suspects – Syed Suhail Khan, Mohammed Umar, Zahid Tabrez, Syed Mudassir Pasha, and Mohammed Faisal Rabbani – have been arrested. The NIA said Naseer had managed to get all the accused shifted to his barrack after carefully assessing whether they could be radicalised and recruited into the LeT. He first managed to radicalise and recruit Junaid Ahmed and Salman Khan and, thereafter, he conspired with Junaid Ahmed to radicalise and recruit the other accused.

On January 14, Lieutenant General Upendra Dwivedi, the General Officer Commanding-in-Chief of the Northern Command said the neighbouring country has orchestrated the recent terrorist attacks in the Poonch-Rajouri region as they did not like the ongoing development work here, reports Daily Excelsior. “There was prosperity and improvement in the lives of people in Poonch-Rajouri area. Investments were coming in and people were getting jobs. Our neighbouring country did not like this atmosphere of peace and prosperity. That’s why they have been promoting militancy in the area but we have launched counter operations,” he said, expressing confidence that they will control militant activities in the coming days. Lt Gen Dwivedi said the coordination among police, military and local people needs to be improved in the area. “The number of Police Stations is being increased while we are carrying out some reorientation as well. This will help us in controlling the situation,” he said. The Army Commander said 2023 has been declared as “zero-infiltration year” as no terrorist was able to come in through the Line of Control (LoC). “…But as you said many terrorists are coming. We have taken action…. If you see last year, only 21 terrorists killed were locals, the remaining 55 were foreigners. In 2022, 121 terrorist recruitments took place but in 2023 only 19 have taken place,” he told reporters.

Islamic State (IS) sympathiser from India, Mehdi Mosroor Biswas, who gained notoriety as a propagandist on social media for the terrorist outfit in 2014, was convicted on January 16, by a Bengaluru court on charges of terrorism, waging war against an Asiatic ally and promoting enmity, reports The Indian Express. Biswas, who went by the name @shamiwitness on X (formerly Twitter), used the social media handle to sympathise with the outfit during the rise of the IS in Syria in 2014. Biswas, now 34, was arrested when he was 24-year-old in Bengaluru on December 13, 2014. His arrest came after the UK’s Channel 4 revealed that he was behind the @shamiwitness handle that was helping British IS recruits join ISIS (then Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) in Syria. He has also been convicted under Section 125 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) for attempting to wage a war against an “Asiatic Power in alliance or at peace with the Government of India” which also entails seven years in prison and under IPC Sections 153 A for promoting enmity between groups and 505 for statements conducing to public mischief. The court has posted the hearing on sentencing in the case to January 19, 2024.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) ‘central regional bureau (CRB)’ has described the January 16 PLGA (People's Liberation Guerilla Army) attack on the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) Dharmavaram camp in Pamed area in the Bijapur District of Chhattisgarh state as "unprecedented," reports Telangana Today on January 22. Its ‘spokesperson’ Pratap, in a statement released to the media on January 22, claimed the attack was a “befitting reply to the recently launched ‘Operation Kagaar-Surya Shakti’ by the Brahmanical Hindutva fascist rulers to eradicate the Maoist movement and to the ongoing onslaught on adivasis”. The PLGA fighters, along with thousands of revolutionary masses, executed the raid. In the three-hour raid, the guerillas fired more than 600 grenade launcher shells and other country-made grenades with rapid firings on the CRPF camp, he said. Pratap claimed that as many as 35 security personnel were killed and more than 40 were seriously injured. Prior to the raid, the guerillas took the entire periphery of the camp under their control. The locals disabled the movement of additional forces by blocking the roads with huge tree logs, and the militia kept landmines to attack the incoming forces. A Maoist ‘commander’ Devalu, ‘battalion member’ Vikram, and People’s ‘militia’ (people’s army of the Maoists) member Madkam Devalu were killed during the raid. Police officials, the State and Central governments were silent regarding the raid and trying to keep the details of casualties on their side in darkness, Pratap alleged. Police barricaded the total area, not allowing the journalists to cover the facts and figures of the raid. Thousands of police were deployed in Bastar division, particularly Narayanpur district, to establish several new advanced base camps. In order to keep their morale high, the higher officials were hiding the facts, Pratap said. Another reason for hiding the facts was that the newly elected BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party) government in Chhattisgarh feared the opposition parties’ criticism of its failure to tackle the Maoists. The Centre also feared that the attack might divert public attention from the Ram Janmabhoomi temple consecration, Pratap alleged, adding that the BJP government was hiding the facts in view of the upcoming 2024 general election and to preserve its power at the Centre.

Ahmed is a resident of Dhubri District, Assam. According to the Police, the alleged senior Maoist leader joined the organisation in 2009 and was allegedly officiating as a mass organiser in the Cachar area in Assam’s Barak Valley as well as the observer for Dibrugarh District of Assam.

At least two children were killed and three women critically injured as Iran laun¬ched attacks in Pakistan on January 16 targeting the bases of a terrorist outfit Jaish al-Adl in the border town of Panjgur District in Balochistan, reports Dawn. “Two key strongholds of the Jaysh al-Dhulm (Jaish al-Adl) terrorist group in Pakistan” were “specifically targeted and successfully demolished by a combination of missile and drone attacks”, Dawn reported quoting Iran’s semi-official Tasnim news agency. Jaish al-Adl has previously mounted attacks on Iranian Security Forces in the border area with Pakistan. Tuesday’s attack in Balochistan came a day after Iran’s elite Revo¬lutionary Guards attacked targets in Iraq and Syria with missiles.

The statement didn’t mention the location of the attacks. Tasnim reported that the “focal point of this operation was the region known as Kouh-Sabz (green mountain)” in Balochistan.

A least nine persons were killed as Pakistan struck terrorist hideouts in Iran’s Sistan-Baluchestan province in the morning of January 18, less than 48 hours after Iran violated its airspace, reports Dawn. According to a statement issued by Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR), “hideouts used by terrorist organisations namely Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) and Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF)” were struck in an intelligence-based operation codenamed ‘Marg Bar Sarmachar’. Iran’s IRNA news agency reported that nine people were killed in the attack targeting a village in the city of Saravan, with Iranian Interior Minister Ahmad Vahidi saying all the dead “were foreign nationals”. In its statement, issued hours after the Foreign Office (FO) announced that Pakistan had carried out “precision military strikes” in Iran, the ISPR said “effective strikes” were carried out against hideouts inside Iran used by terrorists responsible for recent attacks in Pakistan. “The precision strikes were carried out using killer drones, rockets, loitering munitions and stand-off weapons. Maximum care was taken to avoid collateral damage,” it said. The ISPR said hideouts used by BLA and BLF were successfully struck in the operation. “The targeted hideouts were being used by notorious terrorists including Dosta alias Chairman, Bajjar alias Soghat, Sahil alias Shafaq, Asghar alias Basham and Wazir alias Wazi, amongst others,” it said.

The Union Home Minister (UHM) Amit Shah, on January 21, asserted that the country will be free from the menace of Naxalism [Left Wing Extremism, LWE] in the next three years and directed to expedite development activities in remote areas affected by the ultras, reports news18.com. Reviewing the Naxal situation in Chhattisgarh, Shah also directed the Security Forces (SFs) to financially choke the ultras. He also directed the officials to prepare a blueprint to end Naxalism. Supporters of Naxalism have to be identified and completely choked financially, Shah added. The UHM said all kinds of help will be ensured to the SFs and agencies operating in Chhattisgarh. The SFs have to bring the plan to the ground and end Naxalism completely. He also stressed the need for expediting development in Naxal-affected areas. All welfare schemes of the central and state governments have to be implemented in these areas with renewed vigour. According to Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) estimates, incidents of Naxal violence have gone down by 52 per cent in the past 10 years, while deaths in these incidents declined by 70 per cent. The number of affected districts has come down from 96 to 45, and the number of LWE-hit Police Stations has declined from 495 to 176, the estimates showed. Last month, the UHM said that 199 new security force camps have been established in LWE-affected areas since 2019. “In the last 10 years of the Narendra Modi government, we have been able to win the battle in the hotspots of Jammu and Kashmir, Left Wing Extremism and insurgency in the northeast, and the security forces have been able to establish their domination in Jammu and Kashmir,” he said.

Mufti Jashimuddin Rahmani, ‘chief’ of the Ansarullah Bangla Team (ABT), an Al-Qaeda-inspired militant outfit now known as Ansar al Islam, was released from the Kashimpur High Security Central Jail in Gazipur District on January 21, reports The Daily Star. Counterterrorism officials and prosecution lawyers expressed concerns over the release of the prominent militant leader. They believe it would elevate the militancy threat and impede trials of cases filed against him under the Anti-Terrorism Act. Rahmani was arrested on August 12, 2013, in Barguna District, along with 30 members of his outfit, in connection with inciting people to commit violence. He had been in jail since then. Mohammad Asaduzzaman, Chief of the Counter-Terrorism and Transitional Crime unit, told that his release was an issue of concern for them. "We are now trying to track down Rahmani and he will be under our monitoring. And we believe we will be able to avert any untoward situations," he added.

Pakistan-sponsored terrorists have issued threats to carry out attacks in India after the inauguration of the Ram temple in Ayodhya, targeting “Hindutva forces” and celebrities who attended the January 22 event in Ayodhya, India Today reports on January 23. In two separate threat messages Farhatullah Ghauri – the fugitive Indian terrorist accused in several terror crimes and Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) offshoot The Resistance Front (TRF) have called the consecration ceremony of Ram Lalla a “satanic incident” and sought to incite people for taking revenge. Born in Hyderabad in 1966, Ghauri left for Dubai in the mid-90s at the age of 30 and later moved to Rawalpindi in Pakistan. He is accused in cases related to the attack on Akshardham Temple in Gandhinagar in 2002 and conspiracy to eliminate political leaders in Hyderabad in 2004. Ghauri released a video titled ‘Ram Mandir: Declaration of War’, calling for jihad (holy war) against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its ideological parent the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) to make India an Islamic nation. The video purportedly carries the voice of Ghauri and features photos of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh (UP) Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath greeting crowds at the Ram Janmabhoomi Temple, and former BJP leaders Nupur Sharma and Naveen Kumar Jindal who made controversial remarks against Prophet Muhammad in 2022.

Over 17 terrorists from four different groups have been tasked with carrying out attacks in key cities. Police and law enforcement agencies have been directed to enhance security measures in response to the looming threat. In a communication titled "Special and Specific Information Report regarding Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Attock, Mianwali, DG Khan, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, and Balochistan", Regional Police Officer (RPO), Rawalpindi, Additional IG Syed Khurram Ali instructed Central Police Office (CPO) Rawalpindi Khalid Hamdani, and District Police chiefs to bolster security in their respective regions. According to the report, TTP's top leadership conducted a meeting in Kabul, outlining plans for terrorist activities in Pakistan in January. The targeted areas include newly-merged Tribal Districts, Rawalpindi, Islamabad, Dera Ismail Khan, Tank, Quetta, Chaman, Pishin, and other regions. The TTP allegedly secured funds from Tehreek-e-Taliban Afghanistan, and approximately 15 suicide bombers are reportedly at their disposal for carrying out attacks. One group, led by Commander Salman alias Siddique, has been dispatched with night vision glasses, hand grenades, and rocket launchers, hiding in Zangli of Badaber area of Peshawar, the provincial capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

On January 27, Security Forces (SFs) busted a trans-Line of Control (LoC) militant module in Kupwara District of Jammu and Kashmir and arrested their five associates, who were involved in smuggling of arms and ammunition, reports Daily Excelsior. Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), Kupwara, Yougal Manhas said that the module was busted following credible information about smuggling of arms and ammunition from two Pakistan occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK) Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) handlers, originally hailing from Kupwara. The first one to be arrested in the case was Zahoor Ahmad Bhat of Rear Sudhpora Karnah, a village close to the LoC in Kupwara. “Acting on credible information from own sources and corroborated by other sister agencies and counterparts, Kupwara Police along with (Army’s) 9-PARA Field Regiment busted a terror module involved in smuggling of various arms and ammunition sent by two PoJK based LeT terrorist handlers Manzoor Ahmad Sheikh alias Shakoor of Gabra Karnah and Qazi Mohammad Khushal of Dhanni Karnah both at present operating from across the border, by arresting Zahoor Ahmad Bhat of Rear Sudhpora Karnah,” the SSP said. “An AK rifle, an AK magazine, 20 rounds of AK and two pistols with two magazines were recovered from him,” he added. He said preliminary investigations revealed that in the recent past the PoJK based handlers were in touch with Zahoor who hails from a village which is in proximity with LoC with various means. “The consignments dispatched to this side from across were thereafter delivered to other terror associates who were in contact with Zahoor and the said handlers as well,” Manhas said. He said that based on the further leads, four more militant associates Khursheed Ahmad Rather, Mudassir Shafiq and Ghulam Sarwar Rather, all residents of Gabra Karnah and Qazi Fazal Illahi were arrested. The SSP said arms and ammunition and other incriminating material were recovered from them which included five AK rifle (short); five AK magazines and 16 short AK rounds.

The Dera Ghazi Khan (DG Khan) region Police of Punjab are on high-alert following reports that the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) launched a new wing, named ‘Istrna’, comprising highly-trained, well-equipped and ferocious militants, to specifically target the Punjab Police personnel to make inroads into the province’s territory, Dawn reported on January 29. As per well-placed sources, at least three DG Khan check posts — Lakhani, Jhangi and Triman — situated in the tribal areas along the provincial borders, have especially become vulnerable because of the emerging threat of the new TTP wing. A senior official told Dawn that the TTP, after launching the outfit named ‘Istrna’, which is focusing on targeted attacks on Punjab’s law enforcement agencies, has increased its influence and fear among the local tribal people. He said that initially, the group comprised only 10 to 12 militants, however, some recent intelligence reports suggest that its strength has now increased to around 50.

Security Forces (SFs) returning from a gunfight with Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres on January 30 discovered a 130-metre-long tunnel used as an underground hideout in Dantewada District of Chhattisgarh, reports ptcnews.tv. Dantewada Superintendent of Police (SP) Gaurav Rai said the 10-foot-deep tunnel was discovered by a jawan from the District Reserve Guard (DRG), which is made up of local tribal youth. "The hideout was camouflaged, and no one noticed it until one of our District Reserve Guards jawans discovered it. This is probably the biggest underground hideout we've discovered in the region so far," Rai said. "We believe it served as a Maoist hideout during the movement of force. However, it can be used for other purposes, such as ambush trapping the police force," the SP stated.

The 33rd report of Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and Al Qaeda/Taliban Monitoring Team submitted to the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) on January 31 revealed that the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has been receiving “significant backing” from Al Qaeda and other militant factions for executing attacks in Pakistan in addition to support from the Afghan Taliban, reports Dawn. The collaboration includes not just the provision of arms and equipment but also active on-ground support for the banned TTP’s operations against Pakistan. The report noted that despite the Afghan Taliban’s official stance discouraging TTP’s activities outside Afghanistan, many TTP fighters have engaged in cross-border attacks in Pakistan without facing any substantial repercussions. Citing reports, it said that some Taliban members, driven by a perceived religious duty, have joined TTP’s ranks, bolstering their operations. Moreover, TTP members and their families are said to receive regular aid packages from the Afghan Taliban, signifying a deeper level of support.
