Pakistan Becomes World’s Second-Most Terrorism-Affected Country
Islamabad: Pakistan has been ranked as the second-most terrorism-affected country in the world, according to the latest Global Terrorism Index (GTI) report. The alarming ranking highlights the resurgence of terror-related incidents across the country, despite ongoing counterterrorism efforts.
The rise in terrorist attacks, particularly by banned outfits such as the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and other militant groups, has contributed to this ranking. The country witnessed a significant increase in violent incidents, targeting security forces, civilians, and critical infrastructure.
According to the report, Pakistan’s security situation has worsened, with a sharp increase in casualties compared to previous years. The province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan remain the most affected regions due to frequent militant activities.
The Supreme Court and intelligence agencies have expressed concerns over the growing security challenges, urging swift action to counter terrorist networks operating within the country. The government has reiterated its commitment to eradicating terrorism and ensuring national security.
Experts warn that the rising terrorism threat could impact Pakistan’s stability, economy, and international reputation. The need for enhanced intelligence operations, cross-border security measures, and regional cooperation has become more crucial than ever.
