2025 Sees Surge in Violence and Security Threats

2025 Sees Surge in Violence and Security Threats

In 2025, Pakistan had its worst year of violence in ten years.

Many people died in fights, bombings, and other violent events.

Pakistan says the Afghan Taliban, who now run Afghanistan, are helping a group called the TTP, which is causing trouble in Pakistan.

The Afghan Taliban say they are not helping the TTP.

Both countries are arguing and having fights at their border.

This is making it hard for people to trade and travel between the two countries.

Many Afghan refugees in Pakistan are being sent back.

In Kashmir, there was a brief period of peace at the start of the year, but it was broken by several attacks.

These attacks showed that there are new types of threats, like people who are radicalized but not officially part of any militant group.

Security forces are finding it hard to track these people.

Pakistan is also trying to revive militancy in Kashmir, which is causing concern for the security forces.
