Pakistan’s security forces have dealt a major blow to the outlawed Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), inflicting heavy losses on the group and exposing deep rifts within its Afghan-based backers.
According to credible security sources, the recent operation eliminated several Afghan militants operating alongside the TTP inside Pakistan. Their deaths have triggered a bitter tussle among militant commanders in Afghanistan over the custody of dead bodies. Other extremist factions are now pressuring both TTP leaders and Afghan militant commanders who continue to provide them sanctuary and support.
The latest setback has not only weakened the operational capacity of the TTP but also created visible cracks in the alliance of terror groups that operate under Afghan protection. The frustration within militant ranks shows how Pakistan’s decisive actions are dismantling their networks and leaving them divided.
Officials highlight that the success of ongoing counter-terror operations demonstrates Pakistan’s firm resolve to eliminate militancy and safeguard its people. The blow delivered to the TTP is a clear message to all terror outfits: Pakistan will not allow its soil to be destabilized by proxies operating under foreign shelter.
Militants may seek refuge across the border, but their divisions prove they are now fighting for survival.
