PAKISTAN — The banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has issued a series of statements claiming attacks on Pakistani security forces in Tank, Dera Ismail Khan and North Waziristan, alongside reported assaults targeting Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) and local peace committee facilities in South Punjab.

The statements, released on October 14 under the group’s Operation Khyber campaign, describe incidents reportedly occurring on October 13 and 14.

Tank District: The TTP claimed an attack on a military installation in the Umar Khan Kalay area on October 13, alleging casualties among security personnel and damage to the facility.

In a separate statement, the group claimed it subsequently attacked a military convoy approaching the same area.
