- Khyber Pakhtunkhwa accounted for 71% of incidents, with the ISPR accusing a “political‑criminal‑terror nexus” and saying PTI leaders in the province resisted counterterror measures; PTI publicly rejected the claims as politically charged.
- The spokesman said Afghanistan had become a regional base for militant groups and alleged Afghans carried out 10 major attacks inside Pakistan last year.
- ISPR alleged India financed and supported proxies operating from Afghan territory, while also warning that advanced U.S.-origin weapons left in Afghanistan have strengthened militants.
