In a series of violent incidents, several Punjabi Pak Army personnel were killed and dozens more injured following a significant attack by the Pakistani Taliban (TTP) on military installations in the Badr area of South Waziristan district, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK). The assault underscores the escalating conflict in the region.

Moreover, a border clash between Pakistan and Afghan security forces near the Torkham crossing has resulted in the deaths of three Afghan civilians. The altercation, which erupted late on Monday, began when Pak Army reportedly opened fire on Afghan border forces. The clash extended to civilian areas, where a woman and two children were killed by Pak Army.

A security official confirmed that three Pak paramilitary troops were wounded in the confrontation.

Pashtuns have faced systematic targeting as ethnic minorities, and are subjected to aggression by the predominantly Punjabi Pakistan military and authorities. There have been numerous reports of extrajudicial killings and ongoing human rights abuses carried out by the occupied- Paki establishment and military, with the Pashtun community being particularly affected.

The Pak Army, which created and supported the terrorist organization TTP, now finds itself the target of this group. In the midst of this turmoil, innocent Pashtuns are caught in the crossfire, suffering from attacks by both the Army and the TTP.
