Pakistan Army Reports Killing 47 TTP Militants Near Afghanistan Border
—————————-
The Pakistan Army has announced that it killed 47 militants from Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in two recent operations near the Afghanistan border, according to a report from The Khaama Press. The operations took place in the Zhob district of Balochistan province.

The first operation resulted in the deaths of 33 militants, while the second killed an additional 14. The army did not release any information on its own casualties, and the TTP has not issued a statement.

The article notes that clashes between Pakistani forces and the TTP have intensified since the Taliban took control of Afghanistan in 2021, leading to an increase in cross-border militant activity. Security experts have warned that the TTP threat will continue without stronger cooperation between Islamabad and Kabul. These operations highlight the persistent security challenges Pakistan faces along its western frontier.
