While fighting insurgency in 2024, Pakistani security forces sustained the most casualties in almost ten years, according to a research agency located in Islamabad. This year was the worst for Pakistani security forces in nine years, according to a report released Tuesday by the Center for Research and Security Studies.
According to the report, which totalled “at least 685 fatalities and 444 terror attacks,” “nearly seven lives were lost on average every day.
According to the data, a police officer and two civilians, including a child, were killed in separate attacks by militants on Tuesday on a security post, a government office, and a police van in the unrest-plagued northwest of the nation, which borders Afghanistan.
According to local police spokesman Abdullah Khan, the civilian was a Customs department employee, and an officer was also injured in the initial incident at the Draban Post in Dera Ismail Khan, a district in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. In the second attack, a roadside bomb detonated outside a government office in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa area of South Waziristan, killing a kid, according to police spokesman Hayat Khan. In the northwest Bannu area on Tuesday, a police car was hit by a roadside bomb, injuring seven people, according to the police.
Although the Pakistani Taliban, also known as Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan, who frequently target security forces throughout the nation, particularly in the former, were suspected of being behind the attacks, no one took credit for them.
