UPDATE: The SHO abducted by TTP-affiliated terrorists was rescued by security forces during the operation in Tatang Dara, Central Kurram. The officer has safely returned home
NEWS ALERT: Terrorists abducted SHO Mohammadi Khan at gunpoint after he went to a mosque to offer prayers in the Tarali area of Kurram District, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Police have launched an operation for his recovery. Abducting a man from a mosque shows utter disregard for the sanctity of a place of worship and exposes the contradiction between the terrorists’ religious claims and their actions.

Feature will be live in the coming days as I make the final tweaks. Already, the patterns are clear: BRG attacks cluster around Sibi, Dera Bugti and Dera Murad Jamali. The BLA’s footprint stretches across much of Balochistan, including Pashtun-majority areas, while the BLF remains concentrated mainly in the southeast.
Currently working on a heat map feature that’ll show where different militant groups are active, making it easier for people unfamiliar with the region to understand its complex and constantly changing dynamic
