Pakistan security forces reported killing 22 terrorists from the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in an intelligence-based operation in Bannu district, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The operation followed a suicide attack on a Federal Constabulary headquarters in Peshawar. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif praised the forces, vowing to eradicate terrorism. Pakistan has seen increased terror activities in KPK and Balochistan since the TTP ended its ceasefire in November 2022.
