PESHAWAR: According to a statement from the Anti -Terrorism (CTD) on Saturday, Peshawar: According to a statement from the Anti -Terrorism Department (CTD), Kala Marwat, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, was killed in an operation at night in an operation at night.
Provincial Anti -Terrorism Police said the operation took place in Sarai Noring, near the Bhutani Canal, after which after 1 o’clock in the morning, police and other law enforcement personnel were wanted for several attacks.
After the operation, security officials also recovered four hand grenades, Kalaskov rifles, ammunition and two mobile phones.
The operation came two days after a bomb blast when it claimed the lives of at least five people, including Assistant Commissioner Nawagai Faisal Ismail in Khar Tehsil of Bajur District.
The CTD official said earlier this week, security forces avoided the terrorist attack, killing two suspected militants during an intelligence -based operation (IBO) on the outskirts of Peshawar.
The IBO was held in the Shamsha area of the Armar Pian neighborhood of the provincial capital, once one of the largest Afghan refugee camps.
According to the CTD, the two suspects were planning a massive attack on a sensitive target in the city. Officials also recovered weapons, ammunition, a suicide vest, an SMG rifle, a pistol, and several rounds of life from the scene.
Rising terrorist attacks
Pakistan saw a slight decline in militant attacks in May 2025, even when military tensions with neighboring India increased, they failed to mobilize the significant increase in violence by extremist groups.
The data released by the Pakistan Institute for Conflict and Security Studies (PICS), based in Islamabad, indicates a 5 % increase in attacks compared to April, though the overall image shows that the militant groups are widespread despite regional geographical political climate.
According to the PICS monthly security diagnosis, 85 militant attacks were recorded in May, which increased from 81 to 81 in April.
The incident resulted in 113 deaths, including 52 security forces personnel, 46 civilians, 11 militants, and four members of the peace committees. This month, 182 people were injured, including 130 civilians, 47 security personnel, four militants, and members of a peace committee.
Although the total number of attacks has only seen a slight increase, the deep sinking in the data shows some trends.
The deaths of security personnel increased by 73 percent, which indicates a constant threat posed by Pakistan’s armed forces.
Civilian injuries were also dramatically observed by a 145 % increase, which increased from 130 to 130 in May, which highlighted the increasing effects of militant activities on the general public. On the contrary, security personnel were injured by 20 %, which increased to 59 to 47.
At least 59 militants were killed in operations launched by security forces during the month, while five security personnel lost their lives.
Combining militant attacks and security operations, the total number of casualties for May was 172, including 57 security personnel, 65 militants, 46 civilians, and four members of the Peace Committee.
Balochistan and KP have been the most affected provinces, which are 82 out of 85 attacks across the country.
Balochistan suffered high -level violence, killing 51 people with a 35 militant attack – including 30 civilians, 18 security personnel, and three militants – and 100 injured (94 civilians, five security personnel, and one militant).
