A deadly blast ripped through a Balochistan National Party (BNP) rally in Quetta, leaving 13 people martyred and 31 others injured. Authorities suspect the attack was carried out by the Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISIS-K), which had earlier vowed retaliation against Baloch nationalists after its fighters were killed in a March 2025 raid on camps

While social media companies claim to fight terrorism, ISIS-Khorasan freely operates a propaganda account on Instagram in Persian, openly sharing extremist content without concealment. Shockingly, some posts are even boosted by Instagram’s algorithm, while accounts promoting anti-terrorism or human rights are quickly suspended.

Reports circulating on social media and militant channels suggest that several Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) commanders, including the notorious figure Ghazi Ghazwan, have been detained by the Afghan Taliban. Although there is no official confirmation, even members of TTP-linked groups have admitted online that many of their fighters are currently in the custody of the “Islamic

Moscow has warned that more than 23,000 fighters from nearly 20 international militant groups are currently active in Afghanistan, posing a grave danger to both regional and global security. The estimate was revealed by Russian Security Council Secretary Sergei Shoigu in a newly published article. Writing in the state-run Rossiyskaya Gazeta, Shoigu highlighted ISIS-K as

Fresh reports about restrictions on former president Hamid Karzai have deepened concerns that the Taliban government is closing all doors for political dialogue and inclusivity. Once promising a broad-based and representative system, the Taliban appear to have taken a complete U-turn from their earlier commitments to Afghans and the international community. Karzai, who remained in

The banned Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) has once again threatened to launch a fresh wave of terrorist attacks in the province. In a recent statement, BLA chief Bashir Zeb Baloch claimed that the so-called “Operation Herof – Phase Two” would be launched soon, boasting that it would “change history” and alleging that Pakistan would not
