732 attacks were reported in KP in 2024, and 651 attacks took place in 2023. The number of attacks in two years is the highest since the situation in 2009 and 2010.
One of the shocking aspects is that despite frequent attacks, there are many security stations, police stations and even police lines in different parts of the province which have no limits or other arrangements to protect the cops in the event of attacks.
In addition, the cops fighting against war in difficulty districts and other volatile areas have no additional incitement like other provinces. The situation of the law and the order in KP has started to deteriorate since mid-20121, after most of the time, peace has prevailed in the province for many years.
The attacks have further increased since 2023. Even the police seat of the provincial capital was attacked when a suicide bomber has exploded explosives around his vest at the central mosque of the police lines in January 2023.
More than 86 police officers were martyred and more than 200 were injured in the greatest attack on force. In addition to incidents in Peshawar, Khyber and Bajaur, most incidents in recent years have been reported in the southern KP districts.
Two whole divisions in the South, Dera Ismail Khan and Bannu, have been volatile for several years. The Kohat division was relatively peaceful before the situation deteriorated in its Kurram district in November of last year, then incidents were reported to Karak.
The best civil servants of the Government of KP, the Governor and the Chief Minister, belong to the District of Dera Ismail Khan in the south of the KP, which has been touched by terrorism in recent years.
In addition to police and police staff, religious scholars, politicians and other high -level people have been the target of KP attacks in recent years.
