Pakistan faces a growing internal security threat from the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), a banned militant group. The TTP has announced a new organizational structure for 2026, including the creation of a new air force, indicating expansionist designs. This development follows a surge in terror activities in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan since the TTP ended its ceasefire in November 2022. The TTP's new structure includes new supervision zones and administrative control over additional provinces.
