TTP launches multi-pronged suicide attacks on Pakistan military base

Days after the hijacking of the Jaffar Express by the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA), a new wave of violence struck Pakistan when Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) launched a suicide attack on a Pakistani military base.

The attack occurred near the Frontier Corps (FC) camp in South Waziristan district, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.

According to reports, a suicide bomber detonated a vehicle near the camp, leading to a confrontation between TTP and Pakistani security forces.

The Pakistan Army reported killing between eight to ten TTP members during the incident, although some sources suggest the number could be higher, with up to 10 TTP men killed.

The attack follows a tense stand-off between the BLA and Pakistani Occupation forces after the BLA hijacked the Jaffar Express on March 11.

The train, carrying over 450 passengers, including 200 Pakistani security personnel, was targeted in the Bolan Valley.

Pakistani Occupation forces claimed to have eventually neutralized all 33 attackers, but not before 21 passengers were killed. The remaining hostages were safely rescued in a multi-day operation.

These incidents highlight the escalating challenges in Pakistani Occupation Forces are facing, particularly in Occupied Balochistan and in regions bordering Afghanistan.

The TTP and BLA are among several groups active in these areas, contributing to a significant increase in clashes with Pakistani forces in recent years.

The Pakistani government has vowed to continue its occupation of Balochistan and also to continue defending the Durand Line which has never been accepted by any Afghan Government till date.
