Pakistan sees massive 80% rise in terror attacks in 2023, averaging one attack after every 14 hours

Firstpost  

Pakistan experienced a disconcerting year with an unprecedented surge in terror attacks, according to the Pakistan Institute for Conflict and Security Studies. In 2023 alone, the country witnessed 645 terror attacks, resulting in 976 deaths and 1,354 injuries – equating to an attack approximately every 14 hours. The Islamabad-based think tank, the Pakistan Institute for Conflict and Security Studies, emphasized that the country’s security forces thwarted numerous attacks and attempts throughout the year, preventing an even higher toll. With elections approaching next month, security analyst Fida Khan warns that the deadly attacks are anticipated to escalate further, amplifying concerns for the nation’s security landscape.
