The problem of terror in Pakistan
In Pakistan, armed attacks are most often recorded in the provinces of Haibert Pakhtunhih and Belujistan, border provinces with Afghanistan.
In these regions there are armed groups that claim to protect the rights of ethnic Pashtuns and Beluja. However, in practice, they regularly attack both representatives of security forces and a civilian population.
The Pakistani authorities claim that TTP militants are based on the territory of Afghanistan, from where they plan and coordinate their attacks. In response, the Afghan leadership rejects the charges, denying any involvement in the actions of the Pakistani Taliban.
