Thirty terrorists were killed in three separate counter-terrorism operations in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province on Saturday (Jan 25), the military said.
The counter-terrorism operations were conducted in Lakki Marwat, Karak, and Khyber districts.
While 18 terrorists were "sent to hell" in Lakki Marwat district, eight were killed in Karak, the army said in a statement. The military said six terrorists were also injured in the Lakki Marwat encounter.

Equally alarming was the cumulative losses of civilians and security personnel -- 1,612 fatalities, accounting for over 63% of the total recorded in 2024, marking 73% more losses compared to 934 outlaws eliminated, The News reported citing CRSS report.
The overall fatalities recorded in 2024 were a record 9-year high and over 66% more than in 2023.
On average, nearly seven people lost their lives daily in 2024, with November emerging as the deadliest month across all metrics, compared to all other months of the year.
The violence took the heaviest toll on Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, which topped in human losses with 1,616 fatalities, followed by Balochistan with 782 fatalities.
In 2024, the country suffered 2,546 violence-linked fatalities and 2,267 injuries among civilians, security personnel and outlaws.
This tally of casualties stemmed from 1,166 incidents of terror attacks and counter-terror operations, marking a grim year for the country's security landscape.

Jammu and Kashmir: Another Attack in J&K, High Alert In Infrastructure Sites

A threat issued by Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun last year, warning regular flyers of Air India to avoid travelling on the airlines on November 19, is being widely circulated on social media at a time when hoax bomb threats have been sent to almost 100 flights in the last seven days&nbsp;in India.&nbsp;

The video is being shared by various social media users who are alerting the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) about the threat that was given by Pannun last year.&nbsp;

This has also resurfaced at a time when the Indian government is co-operating with the United States in the investigation of an alleged Pannun killing plot.

In the video, the founder of Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) Pannun said that “an attack could occur on an Air India flight” after November 19, which marks the anniversary of the 1984 anti-Sikh riots.&nbsp;

“Do not fly Air India. …We are asking the Sikh ‘panth’ not to fly via Air India. From November 19, there will be a global blockade. Air India won’t be allowed to operate. Sikh ‘panth’, don’t travel by Air India after November 19,” the SFJ founder can be heard as saying in the video.

When the video was released, Pannun was booked by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) under sections 120B, 153A &amp; 506 of the IPC and sections 10, 13, 16, 17, 18, 18B &amp; 20 of Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967.

"Pannun, the self-proclaimed General Counsel’ of the outlawed ‘unlawful Association’, Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), is in the eye of the storm yet again following the release and circulation of video messages on various social media platforms urging the Sikhs not to fly on Air India planes on and after 19th November claiming threat to their lives if they flew on Air India. Pannun also threatened that Air India would not be allowed to operate in the world. Pannun’s assertions and threats have triggered a high alert as well as investigations by security forces in Canada, India and certain other countries where Air India flies," said NIA, in a statement.

A threat issued by Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun last year, warning regular flyers of Air India to avoid travelling on the airlines on November 19, is being widely circulated on social media at a time when hoax bomb threats have been sent to almost 100 flights in the last seven days in India. The video is being shared by various social media users who are alerting the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) about the threat that was given by Pannun last year. This has also resurfaced at a time when the Indian government is co-operating with the United States in the investigation of an alleged Pannun killing plot. In the video, the founder of Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) Pannun said that “an attack could occur on an Air India flight” after November 19, which marks the anniversary of the 1984 anti-Sikh riots. 🚨🚨@FBI @NewYorkFBI- providing you a critical intel. This USA citizen Gurpatwant Singh Pannun issued terror attack threat to Air India flights and Delhi airport. Good news is he is not in Abbottabad, but likely at 59th floor of Empire State Building, NYC. I am sure FBI wont… pic.twitter.com/bPaxRtyBdh — The Hawk Eye (@thehawkeyex) October 18, 2024 × “Do not fly Air India. …We are asking the Sikh ‘panth’ not to fly via Air India. From November 19, there will be a global blockade. Air India won’t be allowed to operate. Sikh ‘panth’, don’t travel by Air India after November 19,” the SFJ founder can be heard as saying in the video. Also Read: Who is Vikash Yadav?

"Pannun, the self-proclaimed General Counsel’ of the outlawed ‘unlawful Association’, Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), is in the eye of the storm yet again following the release and circulation of video messages on various social media platforms urging the Sikhs not to fly on Air India planes on and after 19th November claiming threat to their lives if they flew on Air India. Pannun also threatened that Air India would not be allowed to operate in the world. Pannun’s assertions and threats have triggered a high alert as well as investigations by security forces in Canada, India and certain other countries where Air India flies," said NIA, in a statement.

Seven people, including locals, non-locals, and a doctor, working at the construction site of a key infrastructure project, were killed and a few others were injured in a terrorist attack at Gagangir in Jammu and Kashmir on Sunday evening (Oct 20), just days after an elected government led by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah came to power in the Union Territory.

An Afghan man was arrested in Oklahoma for allegedly plotting an election day "terrorist attack," the U.S. Department of Justice said on Tuesday.

The man, Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, 27, living in Oklahoma City after entering the U.S. in 2021 on a special immigrant visa, was plotting the attack in the name of Islamic State, according to the indictment. The Special Immigrant Visa program, which admits up to 50 people a year, is available to people who worked with the U.S. armed forces or under chief of mission authority as a translator or interpreter in Iraq or Afghanistan.

The indictment did not indicate whether Tawhedi worked as translator or interpreter in Afghanistan. The Department of Justice did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Tawhedi searched online for information on how to access cameras in the capital, Washington, D.C., and for states that did not require a license to get a firearm, according to the indictment. He also visited the White House and Washington Monument web cameras.

Tawhedi and an underage co-conspirator, who is his brother-in-law, were arrested on Monday after they met with FBI assets to buy two AK-47 rifles and ammunition.

In his post-arrest interview, Tawhedi said the attack planned to target large gatherings of people, during which he and his co-conspirator expected to die as martyrs.

"We will continue to combat the ongoing threat that ISIS and its supporters pose to America’s national security, and we will identify, investigate, and prosecute the individuals who seek to terrorize the American people," U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a statement.

Last week, in a "homeland threat assessment," the Department of Homeland Security said the U.S. threat environment was expected to remain high in the coming year due to factors including the 2024 election cycle and the war in Gaza.

"Lone offenders and small groups continue to pose the greatest threat. Meanwhile, foreign terrorist organizations, including the Islamic State and al Qaeda maintain their enduring intent to conduct or inspire attacks in the Homeland," the department said in an assessment released on Oct. 2.

The Islamic State militant organization killed and executed thousands of people in the name of its extreme religious interpretation before it was territorially defeated in Iraq in 2017 and Syria in 2019.
