Pakistan Has Conducted Air Strikes On TTP In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, At Least 30 Killed | News18

Pakistan has carried out air strikes and counter-terror operations targeting hideouts of the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and adjacent districts. These measures are part of Islamabad’s intensified crackdown in response to a surge in militant attacks claimed by the TTP, especially in northwest Pakistan. In one recent operation, Pakistan reported that 31 militants were killed in overnight raids in the Bannu and Laki Marwat districts of KP. These raids are consistent with the security forces’ strategy to target militant infrastructure and leadership to curb the TTP’s capacity to carry out attacks. There have also been controversial drone strikes and air/detection operations in the region. For example, a drone strike in March 2025 in Katlang (Mardan District, KP) claimed by the military to have hit militants was reported by locals to have led to civilian casualties, raising concerns about collateral damage. Similarly, in May 2025, a drone strike in Hurmuz village, North Waziristan (KP) reportedly killed four children and injured others. These operations have generated mixed reactions: while security officials emphasize the necessity of these strikes for national security, there are protests and calls from civil society, local governments, and human rights groups for more transparency, proper investigation of civilian harm, and greater accountability.
