TTP attacks Pakistan from 2022
Pakistan has been alleging that the Pakistani Taliban uses Afghan soil to carry out terrorist attacks against it. However, Afghanistan is rejecting these allegations of Pakistan.
The return of Taliban to Afghanistan in 2021 has strengthened the Taliban of Pakistan (TTP). TTP ended unilateral ceasefire with Pakistan in November 2022. Since then he has increased his attacks on Pakistan. TTP has killed many Pakistani soldiers and policemen in the last few months.
Pakistan has already carried out air strikes on neighboring countries
