The report noted that 2025 is on track to exceed last year’s death toll, driven by increased militant activity and the broader scope of counter-terrorism operations. If the trend continues, 2025 could become one of the deadliest years in a decade. The report showed a 58 percent increase in fatalities from January to September 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan were the most affected provinces, accounting for nearly 96 percent of the violence. Civilians were the primary victims, suffering more injuries than both security personnel and outlaws. [/QUOTE]
