Pakistan’s Terrorism Crisis: The Rise of TTP
Pakistan is currently facing a severe resurgence of terrorism, with the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) emerging as one of the deadliest terrorist organizations globally, according to the Global Terrorism Index 2025. In 2024, the TTP accounted for a staggering 90% increase in attributed deaths, marking a troubling trend for the nation.
Alarming Statistics
The report highlights that the TTP was responsible for 558 deaths across 482 attacks in 2024, making it the third deadliest terrorist group worldwide. This resurgence follows a period of reduced activity from 2017 to 2021. The number of attacks attributed to the TTP has reached a record high, with deaths at their peak since 2011.
TTP’s Anti-State Agenda
Aligning closely with the Afghan Taliban, the TTP’s primary targets include police and military personnel, with civilians also frequently caught in the crossfire. The group’s operations are heavily concentrated in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, where the majority of attacks occur.
Government Response
In response to the escalating threat, the Pakistani government initiated Operation Azm-e-Istehkam in June 2024, aimed at combating the TTP’s insurgency through airstrikes and targeted operations. However, this approach has faced criticism due to reported civilian casualties.
