0

Pakistan witnessed a sharp surge in militant violence in 2025, with 699 terrorist attacks recorded countrywide – an increase of 34% compared to the previous year. This renewed wave of violence claimed at least 1,034 lives, marking a 21% rise in terrorism-related fatalities. In addition, 1,366 people were injured over the course of the year, underscoring
the growing human cost of terrorism.

Security and law enforcement personnel bore the brunt of the terrorist violence. Of the total terrorism-related fatalities, as many as 437, or more than 42%, were personnel of security and law enforcement agencies, including 174 policemen, 122 army soldiers, 107 FC members (both Frontier Corps and Federal Constabulary), 21 Levies personnel, 12 paramilitary troops, and one Rangers official. Civilians were also heavily affected, with 354 non-combatants losing their lives. Meanwhile, 243 militants were killed, either in suicide attacks they carried out or during retaliatory fire by security forces following some of the terrorist attacks.

These are some of the key findings from Pakistan Security Report 2024, prepared and released by Pak Institute for Peace Studies.
