A report from Islamabad’s Center for Research and Security Studies revealed alarming figures on violence in Pakistan during 2024. Militant attacks and related incidents resulted in 2,546 deaths and 2,267 injuries last year.
The report stated that fatalities from armed conflicts increased by 66% compared to 2023. It noted that 444 militant attacks claimed the lives of 685 security personnel. Across Pakistan, civilians, security forces, and militants accounted for the 2,546 deaths.
In efforts to counter militants, 934 insurgents were neutralized, but 1,612 civilians and security personnel lost their lives. The report expressed concern over a fourfold rise in attacks targeting security forces and civilians.
An analysis of 909 conflict incidents showed that 257 counterterrorism operations were carried out in 2024. On average, around seven people were killed daily. November recorded the highest number of attacks, with 125 incidents leaving 450 dead and 625 injured.
The deadliest attack targeted Pakistani soldiers at Quetta Railway Station, where Baloch separatists carried out a suicide bombing. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) suffered the most casualties, with 1,616 deaths in armed conflicts.
The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) carried out several attacks in the volatile province, followed by Balochistan, where 782 people were killed. Together, KP and Balochistan accounted for 94% of conflict-related deaths nationwide.
Districts near the Afghan border, including Kurram, North Waziristan, and Khyber, witnessed the most frequent retaliatory attacks in KP. Other affected districts in the province included Dera Ismail Khan, Bannu, and Lakki Marwat, which experienced significant loss of life.
