As the fragile truce between the Pakistani Taliban — also known as the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) — and the state broke down in November 2022, things have become increasingly violent. The incident we are reporting happened on Saturday where a policeman and three militants were killed in an attack and subsequent search operation in Pakistan’s restive northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province.
The latest incident occurred in a settlement in the Kohat district of the province when militants attacked a police vehicle, according to District Police Officer (DPO) Dr. Zahidullah.
